Jeremy Clarkson will trade turbo-cars against tractors as he prepares to shoot a new show

He is best known for his love of fast cars – and seemingly unkind to the environment.

Jeremy Clarkson, however, will trade turbo-cars for tractors to film a series on agriculture for Amazon.

The former host of 59-year-old Top Gear is now so environmentally conscious that he wants to share an overall vision of life on his 1,500-acre Chipping Norton farm from the Bought A Farm I series. .

While continuing to present The Grand Tour's streaming show, Clarkson will tour the first episodes of the farm program in September. It will be released next year.

He said it would be a lot harder than the BBC's Countryfile and other programs on nature.

"It's not Kate Humble – although I like her – with 20 acres, feeding a bottle-fed lamb. Or a TV presenter who grows vegetables in his backyard. It's a real agriculture: life, death and filling the form, "he told The Sunday Times.

"We're not doing Countryfile, we're going to show his warts and everything-for example, I do not know if badger slaughter is necessary, but if that happens, we'll be quick to get him into the program."

It seems that his main concern is the shortage of food. "Scientists estimate that we have only 90 years left before we run out of food because of soil depletion. It's only 90 extra crops, "he said.

Clarkson recently claimed that the Oxfordshire farm had made it "carbon-neutral" because it consumed more carbon dioxide through photosynthesis than it had generated on the circuit.

He and his partner Lisa Hogan, 47, spend a lot of their time at the farm house and plan to build a bigger house on the site.

In addition to growing wheat, barley and rapeseed oil, Clarkson has created new habitats by replanting and clearing streams and ponds.

Although once described as a "charnier impassable", it seems that Clarkson has now completely abandoned red meat and is moving towards a vegetarian diet. "I eat chicken," he says. "But it's just a vegetable with a head."
