Bridging the divide between town and country

In this lively interview series from the RSA, Matthew Taylor, puts a range of practitioners on the spot - from scholars to business leaders, politicians to journalists - by asking for big ideas to help build effective bridges to our new future. Anna Jones is a journalist, broadcaster, and Nuffield Farming Scholar. She can be heard on BBC Radio 4's Farming Today, On Your Farm and Costing the Earth. Anna worked on BBC One's Countryfile for more than a decade. Growing up on the Welsh Borders, from at least five generations of farmers on her father's side and a long line of butchers and farm labourers on her mother's, Anna's heritage is deeply rooted in working class, conservative, rural values.  Her latest book is, ‘Divide – The Relationship Crisis Between Town and Country’. A Tempo & Talker production for the RSA. In this time of global change, strong communities and initiatives that bring people together are more invaluable than ever before. The RSA Fellowship is a global network of problem solvers. We invite you to join our community today to stay connected, inspired and motivated in the months ahead. You can learn more about the Fellowship or start an application by clicking here.
