The Carbon Fields

Book cover for "The Carbon Fields" by Graham Harvey

Highly recommended book about making our food production more resilient through smallholdings.

It advocates a return to mixed farming based on species rich pastures and explains how this would help to absorb carbon back into the soil [act as a significant carbon sink], improve our health and the health of animals, cut the production of methane by animals and drastically reduce the amount of oil used in agriculture.

Graham Harvey is the agricultural story editor for The Archers
