Description

Land Renewed: Reworking the Countryside by Peter Hetherington explores how to manage and enhance our land in the face of climate change. The pressures of leaving the EU, recovering from COVID-19, and addressing global heating present opportunities to rework the countryside for the benefit of all. Innovative measures are needed to protect valuable farmland, encourage local food production, and 're-peopling' remote areas. This book sets out a holistic approach to shaping the countryside with an adventurous new agenda at its heart. Personal stories and places are woven into the narrative to illustrate the need for nature's recovery. Hetherington argues that a fundamental shift in government policy is required to address these issues, making this book a timely and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the future of our countryside.
