Who Will Pick the Berries?

Strawberries are now our favourite fruit - we eat billions of them every year in a season which now lasts up to nine months - and every berry has to be picked by hand. In the past the berries were picked by seasonal workers from Scotland's industrial heartlands, but now the pickers almost all come from eastern Europe. The Landward team follow the summer season of 2017 in the berry fields of Scotland, following the fortunes of two farms and the migrant workers who are so vital to this £100 million industry.
