Do you want to eat better and save the planet? Do media headlines about the damaging effects of the food we eat make you despair? The advice we see can be confusing, uninspiring (all numbers and exclusion boxes), or make us feel that everything we eat is wrong.

The good news is that you don't have to be bamboozled, particularly with statistics about greenhouse gas emissions. Reconnect instead to the world of real food, grown by farmers using age-old ways suited to their local landscape.

This is a compact, but deep dive into sustainable food. Liz Pearson Mann takes you on a journey around the English West Midlands - a diverse landscape with a rich food history. It's relevant to where you live too. Having spent many years working in archaeology, she gives you her perspective on food. It's a story of small farms, nature-friendly farming, of poop, rare breed sheep, cider, hops and ancient grains.

Why might ways of farming and eating, that stretch back into prehistory, be relevant to us today? Come on a journey to hear more. Discover how people have always fed themselves from the ground beneath their feet, and how you can too. Tune into your local farmscape. Find out how you can reconnect. And how the past can show us the way for the future.

Liz Pearson Mann writes about being rooted in landscape, traditional culture and evergreen skills. She's an archaeologist who has spent many years producing data on the lives of farmers and the food they've produced from the ground beneath their feet. She's a 'doer' who grows food on an allotment and in the garden at home, knits, spins yarn, and makes her own clothes. She lives in Worcester, in the English West Midlands with her husband and cat.
