The British countryside is often portrayed as a green and pleasant land - a rural idyll. But under the surface, rural culture wars rage: the Right to Roam, veganism, rewilding. Anna Jones is a farmer鈥檚 daughter who has worked as a rural affairs journalist for almost 20 years. In this series she uncovers the personal stories of individuals caught up in these battle grounds. In this episode she meets Alistair Macbeth. In the 2010s he鈥檚 working as a touring fire-breather with long dreadlocks and living in a van. He鈥檚 also a committed vegan. So how did he go from that to running a dairy farm in the Peak District? Presented by Anna Jones Produced for 麻豆社 Audio in Bristol by Heather Simons and Anna Jones
