Feeding Britain and preparing for climate change are two key issues – yet there’s no strategy for managing that most precious resource: our land.

“Peter Hetherington offers a rich, compelling and topical analysis of the politics of farming, land ownership, and food production in the UK in an era of climate change and extreme weather.”  Patrick Butler, social policy editor of The Guardian
