The grass isn’t always greener.

How the impact of our diet is less about what we eat, and more about how it was produced. — Walking into Morley Butchers in Crouch End, the smell immediately transports me back to my childhood in Belfast — accompanying my mother to the local butcher, parting the metal chain curtain, and walking through the doorway into a domain of freshly-prepared meat. …

Seeing the woods and the trees

Some forward-thinking individuals are turning food that might otherwise go to waste, into a source of revenue — here’s why… — In an ideal world none of our systems — especially those providing our basic, essential needs — would produce any waste.
