At the beginning of the Second World War Britain faced a food crisis in that two-thirds of our food was imported.  To stop the nation from starving output from Britain's farms had to double in size and rationing introduced.

The story of how this was achieved is told in this 12 part series.

This programme re-creates a year in the life of a wartime farm, growing the crops which were of vital importance, including wheat, sugar beet, potatoes and hay.

Farmers, land girls and a cookery writer provide eyewitness accounts and expert knowledge.
