Summary

In this episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, Robert Llewellyn chats with Tom Heap about his brand new book, Land Smart. As demands for food, renewable energy, carbon storage, and housing grow, we’re running out of land to meet them all and having to ask how we strike the right balance. Tom, known for his work on Countryfile, Rare Earth, and The Climate Show, shares insights from his tour across the UK, where he’s met with farmers, scientists, and conservationists who are pioneering smart land solutions that support both humanity and nature. Listen for an exploration of how we can create a future where land serves multiple purposes without compromising our planet’s health.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to another episode of the Fully Charge Show podcast.
0:07.0	A couple of things I just want to mention before we dive into this week's episode.
0:12.0	Literally, during the recording of this episode, we announced that we are doing an everything electric event in Melbourne, Australia, in November of next year.
