This is part 3 of the Living with the Land Series by Permaculture Magazine.

It is very Alan Savaory-esque.

I saw the 'Farm for the Future' film with Hosking recently. She's doing some wonderful stuff.
This is a nice little update. Her piece in the Permaculture.co.uk is also worth reading.

This video is a nice introduction to rotational mob grazing and the benefits of it. I was pleased to finally get an explanation of what 'holistic grazing' is as well; basically just planning in advance which areas of the land would be grazed over the year (so the skylarks can nest safely and orchids can flower).

I was hoping to find a follow up article on the farm - to see how mob grazing works in the UK. Unfortunately Tim Green (Rebecca Hosking's partner at the farm) died just a couple of years later in an accident with a tractor (more info). The websites are dead too, so I think Rebecca may have moved on.
I live in a sheep grazing area, so it would be super to point people to good working examples of alternatives to the free range sheep we have. To my uneducated eyes this seems to result in overgrazed 'sheep wrecked' land.
