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 epsiodes 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. The Story of Agriculture: Mud, Sweat and Tractors has been met with great critical acclaim, culminating in a 2009 Grierson Award nomination for Best Historical Documentary.

Shortlisted for a Grierson Award in the category of Best History Documentary.
