In Conversation with Patrick Holden - Founder, The Sustainable Food Trust

Описание: It was a great pleasure to be joined by Patrick Holden for a conversation exploring the challenges and paths to creating food and farming systems that work in closer harmony with nature.

Patrick is the founder and CEO of 'The Sustainable Food Trust' and he has a great range of insights to offer around this topic.

We discuss what our diets would need to look like if we were to achieve a transition to sustainable and regenerative farming across the whole of the UK, along with the problem of dishonest pricing within our food system.

We also touch on why Patrick is optimistic that change is possible due to a trend of more and more people taking an interest in the story of their food.
