As we stand at a crossroads crowded with interconnected issues for our planet’s future – climate change, energy, soil, water, natural disasters – farming sits at the heart of them all. In Why You Should Give a F*ck About Farming, Gabrielle Chan lays out how our nation, its leaders and eaters must find new ways to work and live on our precious land. Anika Molesworth’s Our Sunburnt Country charts a way forward for practical and sustainable farming – if only we find the courage to take it.
