Synopsis
Transforming British farming through science, labor, and policy to feed a nation.
This edition draws on passages that illuminate how arable farming became central to the country’s economy, science, and civilization, shaping the future of agriculture.

- The role of science, fertilizers, and tractors in expanding cultivated land
- Public campaigns, labor programs, and the Land Army shaping rural work
- Policy debates on enclosure, wages, and agricultural support during wartime
