    3: Local Matters
    Nov 25 2020
    Knowing where our food comes from is something that has become more and more difficult through the years. The disconnect between where we buy our food and the farms that produce it has led to a gradual decline in understanding the links between the farm and the food on our plates. In this episode Chef Neil Forbes from Edinburghs Cafe St Honoré and Sascha Grierson of Grierson Organics discuss the benefits and value of supporting local producers. The conversation touches on topics such as food waste, organic farming and food education.
