Want to see a fearless exposé of big farming? Then Jimmy Doherty's not your man

Jimmy Doherty is that one who grows pigs, slightly chaotically, in East Anglia. He's a friend of Jamie Oliver, and they talk the same, even look quite similar. Jimmy's an agricultural version of Jamie, a bit posher and a bit less intense. Anyway, he's now got himself a show about world food production, Jimmy's Global Harvest (BBC2), which is quite a step up from growing pigs chaotically in Suffolk. And he's off to Brazil, which is a result – because Jimmy always had a dream about going to Brazil when he was a kid.

First stop is an area that used to be all savanna – grassland that's rich in plant and animal biodiversity. Then the farmers figured out how to make the soil work for them, treating it with lime which destroyed tens of millions »
