Description
Exploring the challenges of climate change, Brexit and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, Peter Hetherington argues that we need to re-shape the countryside with an adventurous new agenda for rural life outside the EU. Feeding Britain while preparing for the ravages of climate change are two key issues yet theres no strategy for managing and enhancing that most precious resource; our land. This book explores how the pressures of leaving the EU, recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, and addressing global heating, present unparalleled opportunities to re-work the countryside for the benefit of all. Told through personal, inspiring stories of people and places, Peter Hetherington sets out the innovative measures needed for natures recovery while protecting our most valuable farmland, encouraging local food production and re-peopling remote areas. In the first book to tackle these issues holistically, he argues that we need to re-shape the countryside with an adventurous new agenda at the heart of government.
