Quite incredible things being achieve here by Dr Paul Benham in the Black mountains. The sheer intuition and effectiveness of his approach shows what is possible. Think if this concept was extrapolated to the wider farming processes in the UK, the efficiencies would be 3 or 4 times of current levels from the same landmass.

Now, to build on this, how do you bring this to more urban areas; how do you encourage the agricultural community to take this up?; how Council’s be encouraged to turn more land over to achieving similar fantastic results; who is going to go out and teach and train people to work the land in this way?

And where is the book?! 

Finally, can we just say such a huge congratulations to the team led by Dr Benham, scenes like this make our heart sing and relish the thought of others working towards such fantastical ends.
