How to Give People and Nature the Space to Thrive 

We need land for so many of humanity's growing needs, such as food, renewable energy, carbon storage and housing. Traditionally, we've taken it from nature, but the mounting toll of extinction and pollution has meant a rethink is essential. 

In Land Smart, Tom Heap, presenter of BBC’s Countryfile, R4's Rare Earth and The Climate Show on Sky News, tours the British countryside meeting farmers, scientists, conservationists and warehouse managers who are solving the most pressing challenges facing our countryside and the world, showing that if we use land cleverly it can give both humanity and nature the space to thrive on just the one planet.
