Pastoral Song: A Farmer's Journey
Profiling his family’s farm across three generations, James Rebanks reveals through an intimate lens the profound global transformation of the agriculture industry, and of the human relationship to the land . . .
More than ever rural landscapes across the world are being brought close to collapse, Pastoral Song tells the story of an inheritance, but also about what it means to love and have pride in a place, and about how, against all odds, it may still be possible to build a new pastoral, not a utopia, but somewhere decent for us all.
"A masterpiece! Pastoral Song is a poetic, practical, raw, and almost ancient miraculously detailed picture of this ancient way of life struggling to survive and to be reborn." -- New Statesman
