| Summary: | 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. A look at the changes in the way fruit and veg was grown, picked and sold, told through three of the staples in the British landscape - apples, strawberries and tomatoes. Home movies and archive footage reveal the extent of revolution in how the fruit was picked and the impact supermarkets had on the fortunes of the small and medium-sized growers.
