This chapter dives into a discussion on the need to increase the agricultural population to achieve a resilient food system. It highlights that this goal is not easy when the divide between the ‘haves’ and the ‘have nots’ has widened: the comfortably middle-aged at one end and the assetless, with aspirations to work the land — and unable to find affordable housing — at the other. The chapter tackles the unique situation in the UK where houses in the countryside are more expensive than those in the cities. Furthermore, the chapter explores how the COVID-19 pandemic drove consumers to turn to small-scale producers and farm shops when supermarket shelves emptied. The chapter stresses the necessity of workable land and the need to ensure that potential new entrants to agriculture and horticulture can gain a first step on the farming ladder. Moreover, it acknowledges an inspirational movement created by local growers and producers who are creating short, field-to-fork supply chains around Britain.
