European farmers no longer import some of their food because they have high efficiency farms and a food surplus. Because of this, some farmland has been set aside for nonfood crops, such as timber, oil-producing seeds, sports grasses, and plants and animals from which clothes are made. This British production shares creative and innovative uses of land formerly kept only for food crops.
