Farming Practices Let's talk about farming practices. What are some of the big issues facing farming and growing today? Regenerative farming is a term being used more today. Can you tell us what that is? Do you have 1 or 2 good news stories in this area that you have seen or heard about? Learn more about Regenerative Farming from Food, Farming and Countryside Commission https://ffcc.co.uk/library/farmingforchangereport Farm Ed https://www.farm-ed.co.uk/ Overbury Estate and manger Jake Freestone who have great examples of regenerative arable systems Jake’s Blog http://farmerjakef.blogspot.com/ and https://twitter.com/No1FarmerJake Ed Horton on instagram making the journey to a mixed agroecological  farming business https://www.instagram.com/e.a.horton/ 4. Food Waste There is a massive amount of food wasted not only from our kitchens and supermarkets, but also further back in the food chain. What needs to change in farming and food production for that figure to be greatly reduced? Do you have a current figure for food waste in farming/growing/food production? WRAP - Primary production July 2019 Report https://wrap.org.uk/sites/default/files/2020-07/WRAP-food-waste-in-primary-production-in-the-UK.pdf Tessa Clarke, Olio Founder, Global Food waste picture - well worth a watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPuBiZFfwg4 5. Food Poverty/Food Insecurity We have seen in this Pandemic a massive increase in the use of food banks and people facing food insecurity. How do we help those who are struggling financially to be able to access food, but especially fresh and healthy food? The Long Table https://www.thelongtableonline.com/ Granville Kitchen http://granvillecommunitykitchen.org.uk/ 6. Healthy Eating  7. Organic  8. Seasonal and local food Seasonal and local food seems to becoming more popular. How important is celebrating seasonality of food, when harvest for a lot of crops is all year round? How do we get that fabulous local and seasonal food to as many people as possible, particularly in our national supermarkets? 9. Harmonised Food Sustainability Metric Tamsyn, you are involved in another project as well, working with the Sustainable Food Trust, I think about measuring food sustainability. Can you share a little bit about that? More on the SFT’s Harmonised Metric here https://sustainablefoodtrust.org/key-issues/sustainability-metrics/ 10.
