Programme one in this UK-produced series asks why farming has changed over the past 100 years, looking at the impact of WWII, the introduction of the EU common agricultural policy and, more recently, the single payment scheme. Animal and crop farming are both considered, and conventional farming methods are contrasted with organic businesses. Environmental concerns are reflected upon throughout as farmers, a nutritionalist, a professor of veterinary science and celebrity chefs Chris and James Tanner offer answers to the question - does it matter how our food is produced?
Critical acclaim for Does It Matter How Our Food is Produced?:
"This series offers a current insight into a range of issues about the importance of sustainable food production and safeguarding the countryside for the future. Without a doubt, it has many curriculum applications within the classroom."
