Essential reading for both incomer and local. Anna Jones is insightful but above all sensitive: we walk in everybody's shoes' - Tom Heap'This book, by farmer's daughter and now-journalist and media presenter Anna Jones, is one of the most enjoyable and interesting books I have read this year' - Mark AveryThis book is a call to action. It warns that unless we learn to accept and respect our social, cultural and political differences as town and country people, we are never going to solve the chronic problems in our food system and environment. As we stare down the barrel of climate change, only farmers - who manage two thirds of the UK's landscape - working together with conservation groups can create a healthier food system and bring back nature in diverse abundance. But this fledgling progress is hindered and hamstrung by simplistic debates that still stoke conflict between conservative rural communities and the liberal green movement.Each chapter, from Family and Politics to Animal Welfare and the Environment, explores a different aspect of the urban/rural disconnect, weaving case studies and research with Anna's personal stories of growing up on a small, upland farm. There is a simple theme and a strong message running throughout the book - a plea to respect our differences, recognise each other's strengths and work together to heal the land.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 198mmItem Length: 126mmItem Weight: 41gAuthor: Anna JonesGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Technology & Engineering, Social Sciences, Biography, Science Nature & MathItem Width: 26mmRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
