Troubled by challenges her own South of France farm is experiencing, Carol realises new approaches to farming are becoming essential.

Through her travels and vivid encounters, Carol confronts some of the critical issues of our time - land-care and the harsh realities of diminishing water reserves - and ends her momentous journey in the company of olive growers whose vision for the future is remarkable and ingenious.
