James Rebanks on his life’s work, the surprising path to bestselling writer, an urgency to rethink modern farming and how we can change the world.

Featuring: The most important nine years of his life, from class clown to double firsts at Oxford, travelling the world with UNESCO, what 'The Old Man and the Sea' showed him, the dangers of mass industrial farming, what we can learn from traditional ways, meeting Wendell Berry, rewiggling the rivers and planting trees - all of which weaves in discussion of both 'The Shephard’s Life' and James’ new book 'English Pastoral'.
