Land Healer: How Farming Can Save Britain's Countryside - Jake Fiennes

Our relationship with the land is broken: we must heal it.

Jake Fiennes is on a mission to change the face of the English countryside. As Conversation Manager at Holkham, one of the country's largest historic country estates, his radical work has brought back wetlands, hedgerows, birds and butterflies over 25,000 acres of land.

But this isn't rewilding - there is no 'wild' in Britain anymore. Mass farming and industrial chemicals have destroyed the majority of our natural landscape and wildlife over the last century. Land Healer is a manifesto for rethinking our relationship with Britain's flora and fauna, offering practical solutions to how we work with the land to produce food without destroying nature and restoring balance to the natural world.
