On Your Farm: A Journey Through the British Isles and Beyond

Episode 4: More Than Just Farming

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 ExtraLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 Extra

Charlotte Smith visits HMP North Sea Camp, a prison in Lincolnshire, where inmates at the end of long sentences are taught farming skills.

It's drawn from the long-running Radio 4 series, On Your Farm. She also looks into a question that's repeatedly asked - who 'belongs' in the countryside? Many black and Asian people, for example, report they seldom visit rural areas. We hear how Anna Hill explored that issue in an edition of On Your Farm in 2001 when she looked at the barriers between urban and rural communities.
