Feeding the city – and its dreams

Available for over a year

On the western edge of Edinburgh land is in short supply, but a team of enthusiasts has taken over 100 acres of prime farmland that has, remarkably, remained undeveloped. Staff and volunteers at Lauriston Farm are learning how best this place – which was only saved by its view – can be used to feed local people, and feed the need for nature and outside space. But just how do you make a farm pay when, so far, it’s just a market garden a few allotments and a heap of dreams? Produced and presented by Richard Baynes
