Kitchen Table Chats #29 – Do You Eat Veg, Yogurt v. Kefir, Oat Cookies & Harvest Traditions in Wales

Biome-enhancing biotics aren’t just about the well-known *pro*biotics. Listen in to hear all about the whole range of biotics, including prebiotics, probiotics, paraprobiotics and postbiotics. You’ll hear about the latest research into good bacteria as well as practical tips for including more of them in your diet.

In this episode I talk to Sir Patrick Holden, head of The Sustainable Food Trust and 50-year farmer and sustainable food activist. You’ll hear us talk about his latest research into how the UK could feed itself using fertiliser/pesticide-free sustainable agriculture (with no grain-fed animals!), the tools to take this global, and how this lifetime campaigner for sustainable animal-involved agriculture feels about lab meat, supermarkets, ground-up change and much more.

Bonus interview with Lindsay Miles about quitting supermarket from her plastic-free living perspective.

There’s a lot of talk about sustainability, but much of it misses the wisdom that our ancestors have to show us in the ways they farmed and ate for centuries. Hear Andrea and I talk about practical sustainability for all our kitchens in this episode.

“The best books are ones that spin you off on a path; imbue you with passion”

And these 6 do! Listen to hear Andrea and I talk about 3 books each. Hers are some of her favourites; mine are the ones I’m reading now.
