Journey 

Charlie Clutterbuck wrote this Masters Degree in Regenerative Food, Farming and Enterprise for Schumacher College, approved by Plymouth University.

He always wanted to 'feed the world', so got 3 degrees in Agricultural Sciences - BSc Agricultural Zoology (Newcastle),  MSc Tropical Crops, and PhD Soil Ecology (on 'the effects of herbicides on soil fauna') both at Wye College, London University.  He says that the worst chat-up line ever was 'I count soil bugs'.

Then he realised that the reason people went hungry was not because of shortage of food, but shortage of money.  His first job was as 'Pollution Officer' for the British Society for Social Responsibility in Science, where he created 'Hazards' magazine - still going today..  Afterwards he moved to live and farm on a hill farm in Lancashire.

He has fingers in  various pies. He served on  the government's Advisory Committee on Pesticides, was Chair of Governors for Lancashire Agricultural College, lived on 100 acre hill farm, and  is a Trustee of Incredible Farm  Todmorden. He wrote Bittersweet Brexit: Future of Food & Farming, Land & Labour Pluto Press 2017 and  'More than we can chew' along with 'P is for Pesticides' both with Prof. Tim Lang. 

At present he is working with River Ribble Trust in Lancashire on an ELMS  pilot project, tutoring on this Masters course, and writing a book 'The Story of Soil'. If soil is a 'living entity', then it must have evolved. But how, what where why, and when? Nobody has explained previously, so he is having a go.
