ABSTRACT

This chapter draws together the conclusions of the book. It returns to the question of the lessons to be learned from the UK’s twentieth-century experience of transformational change from the 1940s and the subsequent efforts to “clean and green” food and farming from the 1980s onwards. The chapter considers the implicit and sometimes naïve models of behaviour change at play in debates about the climate change challenge and concludes by reflecting on the prospects for the UK’s transition to net zero and the successful transformation of the food, farming and land-use system.
