The Struggle for Land
The Struggle for Land
By Alex Heffron
A blog where I think out loud whilst I pursue my research looking at land use, agricultural transitions and ecological crisis from the perspective of Marxist political economy. I used to farm in Wales and now I'm a PhD researcher at Lancaster University.
Me, My Pigs and I.
Me, My Pigs and I.
By Helen Freeman
Me My Pigs and I is a UK farming publication that blends personal farm stories with clear policy analysis and practical insights on food security, agroecology, and the realities of modern agriculture.
Ben Raskin
Ben Raskin
Farming and gardening pioneer, communicator and advisor.
“If you’re interested in practical reflections on farming, trees, and agroforestry, I’d recommend Ben Raskin’s Substack. Ben sits on the advisory group for Great Chalfield and brings decades of hands-on experience, humour, and insight into how we can grow food and nature together. His writing is full of the kind of wisdom that comes from years in the field.”
