Abstract

Many people give little thought to how the ingredients they eat are produced, nor to the true cost, in human and environmental terms, of cheap food. Drawing upon my own history and experiences of food production over more than sixty years I will consider how men, in particular, have played a part in feeding the nation, and the sometimes-devastating impact this work may have had upon their bodies and well-being, and reflect upon my tran-sition from boyhood to manhood in a rural community marked by attachment to the land and to the community of farm workers that took me under its wing.
