Ep 13 - Booths, and The Role of Local Supply Chains in Food Security

In the latest episode of our podcast, we delve into the fascinating world of British Food, exploring the vital connections between local sourcing, food security, and community integration. Host Derek Wright is joined by Nigel Murray, the managing director of Booths supermarket, who shares valuable insights from his extensive experience in the food industry. The episode opens with a monthly update from our resident farmer, Sam, who provides a glimpse into the challenges faced by farmers, including the importance of irrigation and the impact of weather on crop maintenance.

We finish with Ben Bartlett's seasonal tips and tricks.
