Many of us will know Tom Heap from his investigative work on food, energy and the environment for BBC’s Countryfile and elsewhere.

In his book, Landsmart, he brings this thinking together to explore how we can we get more from our land to meet our growing need for food, renewable energy, carbon storage and housing.

Join Tom as he tours the British countryside showcasing the innovative farmers whose yields feed four times the global average, the soil scientists upending the limits to crop growth, and the conservationists and industry leaders salvaging habitat, harnessing solar and radically reimagining land use to provide a hopeful blueprint for a better future.
