People's Landscapes: Future Landscapes

A roundtable discussion consider future landscapes in the context
of food, farming and conservation. People's Landscapes: Beyond the
Green and Pleasant Land is a lecture series convened by the
University of Oxford's National Trust Partnership, which brings
together experts and commentators from a range of institutions,
professions and academic disciplines to explore people's engagement
with and impact upon land and landscape in the past, present and
future. The National Trust cares for 248,000 hectares of open space
across England, Wales and Northern Ireland; landscapes which hold
the voices and heritage of millions of people and track the
dramatic social changes that occurred across our nations' past. In
the year when Manchester remembers the 200th anniversary of the
Peterloo massacre, the National Trust's 2019 People’s Landscapes
programme is drawing out the stories of the places where people
joined to challenge the social order and where they demonstrated
the power of a group of people standing together in a shared place.
Throughout this year the National Trust is asking people to look
again, to see beyond the green and pleasant land, and to find the
radical histories that lie, often hidden, beneath their feet. At
the fourth and final event in the series, Future Landscapes,
panellists consider future landscapes in the context of food,
farming and conservation, with panellists considering what we may
want vs. what we will need from our landscapes in a post-Brexit
Britain and beyond. Speakers: Alice Purkiss | National Trust
