Five years ago, Jimmy Doherty gave up life in the city to start his own farm. Now he wants to see what other farmers have achieved. As the world food crisis grows, what happens to farming will affect us all.
So in this new series, Jimmy is travelling the country to meet the people shaping the future of British farming. He starts his journey in the east of England, where farming is about big machines and large-scale production. He has to test his own doubts about whether big does mean bad.
Brilliant programme, I love it, I am embarking on a mushroom growing project in a Country where mushrooms will make a big impact; can anyone tell me please how to contact the organic mushroom grower(in a cave) visited recently by Jimmy nd shown on BBC1, Sept09 at night.Much apreciated
