All the many conversations I have with people who really know about food and farming confirm my long-held belief that is easily possible, almost straightforward, to feed everyone who is ever liable to be born on to this Earth to the highest standards of nutrition and gastronomy. The Campaign for Real Farming is intended to show how this can be done, and to bring together the people who can make it happen.

Presenter's Personal/Professional Background: Colin Tudge
Biologist, Writer
Colin Tudge was born in London in 1943; educated at Dulwich College, 1954-61; and read zoology at Peterhouse, Cambridge, 1962-65.
Ever since then he has earned a living by spasmodic broadcasting and a lot of writing - mainly books these days, but with occasional articles. He has a special interest in natural history in general, evolution and genetics, food and agriculture, and spends a great deal of time on philosophy (especially moral philosophy, the philosophy of science, and the relationship between science and religion).
Colin Tudge has two daughters, one son, and three granddaughters, and lives in Oxford with his wife, Ruth (nee West).
