Max Cotton, a retired political journalist, leaves behind the weekly shop, supermarkets and the modern world to find out if he can grow and produce 100% of his food on a smallholding near Glastonbury.

His only import for a year is salt.

It's the end of Max鈥檚 food self-sufficient year.

Did he make it?
Did he cheat?
Did he lose weight?
Was it too hard to be fun?

All these questions are answered as Max evaluates his experiment.

This episode also explores some of the issues of trying to eat locally and seasonally.
