The inspiring story of British farmers who, through hope, hard-graft and determination refuse to be victims of history. This documentary is a journey across the fields of Britain, through orchards of forgotten fruit and fields of ancient grains. Old wisdom and the innovations of the young combine to return the worm to the soil, the ‘culture’ to ‘agriculture,’ and the flavour to the tomato! The future of this land is still in our hands…..
These varied stories of UK food producers include that of Grown In Totnes. Over one year (2016), the film observes their stories of success and the challenges they have faced. The film shows the limits of and damage created by industrialised food production; turning back the clock and increasing diversity in food production and ownership benefits not only our flora and fauna but also farmers and consumers.
