Do media headlines about the damaging effects of the food we eat make you despair? The advice we see can be confusing, uninspiring (all numbers and exclusions), or make us feel that everything we eat is wrong. The good news is that you don't have to be bamboozled, particularly with statistics about greenhouse gas emissions. Reconnect instead to the world of real food, grown by farmers using age-old ways suited to their local landscape, and benefitting nature. This is a compact, but deep dive into sustainable food. Liz Pearson Mann takes you on a journey around the English West Midlands - a diverse landscape with a rich food history. It's relevant to where you live too. Having spent many years working in archaeology, she gives you her perspective on food. It’s a story of small farms, nature-friendly farming, of poop, rare breed sheep, cider, hops and ancient grains. Why might ways of farming and eating, that stretch back into prehistory, be relevant to us today? Come on a journey to hear more. Discover how people have always fed themselves from the ground beneath their feet, and how you can too. Tune into your local farmscape. Find out how you can reconnect. And how the past can show us the way for the future.
