Four conversations in which
Derek Cooper hears from people whose theories about food were ahead of their time. 3: The Living Soil
Derek Cooper talks to Lady Eve Balfour - patrician, farmer, 'crank' and revolutionary. In her book The Living Soil, published in 1943, Lady Eve pulled together the work of such pioneering scientists as McCarrison and Howard and used her own farming experience to show that the health of the soil, plants, animals and humans was inextricably linked. Officially her views were met with silence, incomprehension or derision. Today her work seems remarkably prophetic. Producer SHEILA DILLON
