For the past 40 years rural
Britain has been undergoing a second Agricultural Revolution. Farming has emerged as the largest, most efficient industry in the country, but in doing so has perpetrated irrevocable change on a way of life which is for most of us the source of our national identity. Now, faced with the demise of the rural idyll and the new pressure to produce less, the countryman is struggling to blend the nation's love of landscape with the practicalities of living off the land.
Eric Robson tours rural Britain to investigate how people are banding together to shape another countryside. Producer MARY PRICE BBCBristol
