A terrific book Michael MorpurgoExcellent Helen CzerskiA clear, concise and accessible guide to the pivotal question of our age Guy Shrubsole We need land for so many of humanitys growing needs, such as food, renewable energy, carbon storage and housing. Traditionally, weve stolen it from nature, but this has led to a mounting toll of extinction and pollution that is now punishing us. So, as theres no land left to take, how do we get more from the same, or preferably less. In Land Smart, Tom Heap, a presenter on BBC TVs Countryfile, Radio 4s new Rare Earth series and the anchor of The Climate Show on Sky News, tours the British countryside meeting the farmers, scientists, conservationists and even warehouse managers who are solving the most pressing challenges facing our countryside and the world. If we use land cleverly it can give both humanity and nature the space to thrive on just the one planet. If not, were in trouble.

O modo como nos alimentamos tem impacto direto sobre o planeta. Do cultivo ao descarte, todas as açes e escolhas que so parte do sistema alimentar ajudam ou prejudicam o meio ambiente.No caso dos restaurantes, o peso dessas escolhas se multiplica. Incorporados ao cotidiano das cidades, esses estabelecimentos influenciam profundamente a relaço das pessoas com a comida.
