Six Steps Back To The LandSustainability, community and food security from small-scale agriculture

Colin Tudge

Colin Tudge coined the expression “Enlightened Agriculture” to describe agriculture that is “expressly designed to provide everyone, everywhere, with food of the highest standard, nutritionally and gastronomically, without wrecking the rest of the world”. In Six Steps Back to the Land, he explains how we can achieve that, and have truly sustainable, resilient and productive farms:

• Why we need to rethink our approach to farming• How we can move to low-input mixed farms• Tightly-integrated farms employ many skilled people• Dealing with the practicalities of this form of farming

in today’s world• How we can get involved

Six Steps Back to the Land will inspire anyone to take an interest in our food chain and make a difference.

Colin Tudge is a biologist, science writer and author. He has been on the staff of Farmers’ Weekly, New Scientist, and BBC Radio 3. He has a passion for food and agriculture. He is closely involved in The Campaign for Real Farming and the Funding Enlightened Agriculture network which support SMEs in the sustainable food and farming sector.

thinking outside of the box. He’s earned his place in the history of the food culture of this

“This book is an eye opener as to the realities lying behind high-level exhortations about ‘feeding the world’ and reveals how the path we are on is more about the interests of powerful elites, rather than

the people eating the food.”

The Apocalypedia is a countercultural A-Z that pokes fun at modern society, through a friendly but deeply revolutionary collection of flash-essays and comic vignettes, presenting an apocalyptically optimistic way of understanding and living in a civilisation that is in rapid and terminal decline.

Looking at a combination of common value-charged words and new words invented as observations of common experience, it is a comic revelation of the lunatic twists and turns that ordinary consciousness makes throughout the day.

A delightful gift book for the radically-minded, the book is an entertaining satire of modern culture, looking at everything from romantic relationships, to psychology, religion, language, history and more.
