Mud, sweat and tractors. Fruit & vegetables. Season 1, Episode 2
Description
This unique series tells the story of man's relationship with the land. It charts the revolution that food production in Britain underwent in the 20th century, and examines the impact this had on the lives of farmers and consumers alike. With episodes focusing on milk, fruit and vegetables, wheat, and beef, as well as intimate and touching home movies recorded at the time, the series provides an original and largely unseen record of a century of revolution on the land. The Story of Agriculture: Mud, Sweat and Tractors has been met with great critical acclaim, culminating in a Grierson Award nomination for Best Historical Documentary."This is a brilliant documentary series: with its use of archive home video it is both a loving and moving memorial to times long gone" - The Times" Strange but true - in the 1950s, strawberries were virtually the size of apples. It's a fact you can verify for yourself in this excellent social history series" - The Guardian.
