The first female president of the National Farmers' Union in its 109-year history tells the story of how she fought tooth and nail for British farms through some of the country's most tumultuous years - and what we need to do next.
Born and raised on a small farm, Minette's love for farming never wavered. Even after her father warned her there was no future in farming, her heart brought her home to take over the family business. While running the farm, managing her successful catering business and raising her twins, she joined the NFU to help advocate for locally grown food and the people who feed us. In her third act, as advocate for the UK's farming industry, she became the most visible agriculture expert in the UK, at a time when Brexit, Covid and international conflict has pushed our farms, and our food production, to a state of crisis. Who better to guide us through the political landscape that surrounds how we feed the nation and what our farmers need to thrive?
Blending memoir and manifesto, this book is a powerful insight into the real lives of farmers, a love letter to British rural life, and a rallying cry to save it - and how.
