Landsmart: A practical guide to transforming our countryside

We need land for so many of humanity’s growing needs, such as food, renewable energy, carbon storage and housing. Traditionally, we’ve stolen it from nature, but this has led to a mounting toll of extinction and pollution that is now punishing us. So, as there’s no land left to take, how do we get more from the same, or preferably less.

Regular BBC Countryfile presenter Tom Heap, author of Land Smart, toured the British countryside meeting the farmers, scientists, conservationists and even warehouse managers who are solving the most pressing challenges facing our countryside and the world.

Hear how, if we use land cleverly, it can give both humanity and nature the space to thrive on just the one planet. If not, we’re in trouble.
