Our imagination has been captured by stories of rewilding ecosystems… What if we told you that farmers can rewild soils? About half of the world's habitable land is used for agriculture, either for growing crops or grazing livestock, meaning farmers have an outsized responsibility for the complex webs of life that make up the soil. So in Part 2 we’re starting with people. We’ll travel from farms alongside ancient Gondwana rainforest, to rainy green fields north of London, to small-scale growers in India. We’ll unpack the consequences of the Green Revolution on biodiversity, ecosystems and communities, and meet the farmers who are turning things around.
