  • For those who love farms and good food

    This podcast always offers interesting insights about food and farming. Whether you are interested in practical ideas and tips for small-scale farms, or the latest in farm policy, this is one of the best podcasts I’ve found. The guests are always folks who are involved in hands-on work, or have first-hand expertise to share. The show host asks great questions and I look forward to listening each week.

  • Educational and impartial

    I work in the food industry, and although this show is largely focused on the UK, they bring up a range of interesting topics. They are largely focused on sustainability and new food trends, and bring in new people to talk about it.

    Also, they do not seem quite as biased, as many other podcasts within the field are. This podcast mainly has intellectuals and people with an extensive experience within the relevant field.

    Excited for new releases!
