This is an incredible piece of work by @JonathanPieNews.
From the research, to the sequencing, to the performance.

John Cherry’s quote is the hit home.
“All we need is the population to demand it, and it will happen”

Become a thoughtful farmer, grower, shopper, cook, and eater
20 years of being obsessed with food/farming/environment tells me this is IT - help shape your environment
