In 1939, the UK was almost entirely dependent on imported, foreign food. The outbreak of World War II - with imports curtailed by the menace of U Boats - meant Britain urgently needed to achieve immediate food self-sufficiency. Turning back the clock we mirror the demands of an agricultural endeavour unparalleled in British history. Social historian Ruth Goodman and archeologists Alex Langlands and Peter Ginn experience a year on a Second World War Farm. Big changes revolutionised farming methods during this period when production and national self-sufficiency were the driving force.
