  • After being a regular listener for many years, I've just been back to relisten to ep 1 now we're in 2025, and the predictions could hardly be more accurate or pertinent. The tone of content has changed over the years but this is indispensable listening for anyone grappling with our failing agricultural systems and their inability to deal with climate change.
