A fascinating personal account of a revolution in British farming

Sarah Langford had left her country roots behind to live and work in the city as a barrister. But when she found herself moving to the countryside, back to an agricultural life she had left behind, she saw farmers dealing with very different problems to those faced by her grandfather, who had fed a starving nation after war. Beleaguered with the challenges of climate change, Brexit and falling incomes, they faced accusations of ecological mismanagement from a hostile media and public. But, as Sarah looked to them to teach her about the land, she also found a new generation of farmers on a path of regenerative change.

In Rooted, Sarah weaves her own story around these farmers - from dairy to arable, traditional to experimental - who taught her what being a farmer means. Intimate and moving, these stories shine a light on the human side of modern farming, and show us how land connects us all, not only in terms of global sustainability but in our relationships with our physical and mental health, our communities, our planet and ourselves.

An authentic, beautifully written portrait of 21st Century farming, this deeply personal account puts a powerful case: that the task of restoring our earth and ensuring a sustainable future both for our food and ourselves, lies in the hands of those who live closest to the land.

Enthralling ... An unignorable call to understand the challenges facing not only farming but the Earth itself.
Absorbing, compassionate [and] galvanising.
Langford writes so movingly of the countryside and its effect on her heart and her family.
More than a memoir; Langford manages to contain and convey the whole scale of the coming agricultural revolution.
A refreshing perspective on a overwhelmingly masculine world
Sarah Langford's book on farming is really a book about healing. All of life and death is here: family, politics, nature, climate, history, humanity. Rooted is a beautifully written, powerful reminder of where we've gone wrong, what is at stake, and how we can change. I loved it.
Rooted offers us an honest look at the farming life today. It is not an easy way to make a living, but through Langford's personal story - and those of who she meets - we appreciate how it offers a connection with the land, and a firmer sense of our place in the world. Raw, earthy and inspiring.
Moving, startling, uplifting, galvanising and unsettling, this plainly beautiful book is one of those rare few that changes how you see the world around you: the shape of fields seen from a train, the vegetables in a supermarket chiller cabinet, the earth beneath your feet and falling through your fingers.
A beautifully written, incredibly timely book addressing not just where our food comes from and why this matters so much, but also fundamental questions relating to our relationship with the land, and the definition of home.
Heartbreaking and hopeful, this story of a farming revival has never been more important. It opened my eyes and touched my soul

From start to finish, the book offers a balanced and accessible view into farming, appealing to non farmers as well as those whose profession is linked to it. Factual, and yet poetically weaving her own journey in with the experience of long term farmers, the book makes a lot of sense and rationale for the need of a new direction in farming. Really enjoyed this, and highly recommend it.

Having been looking forward to the publication of this book for sometime, it certainly didn’t disappoint. As someone already interested in and passionate about the future of farming and the countryside I learned a huge amount about the farming practices of old, how the methods now considered as conventional came to be and the many ways in which modern farmers are challenging these traditions and seeing many varied and unexpected changes. Through the telling of her own story and that of other farmers each with their own different experiences covering everything from dairy to arable, Sarah Langford seems to have joined up all the dots and it just makes complete sense. Such an important yet thoroughly enjoyable read that I truly hope could make a difference to all of our futures.

Loved this book.

A beautifully written account of the author’s own journey into organic farming and farmland renewal. The author’s own family’s experience is woven with that of other farming families with honesty and empathy. Engaging, informative, and revealing of how much 20th century thinking needs to be unpicked and reset.

A must-read for anyone who cares about the English countryside
