What do the public really want from our food system?
For starters 👩🍳🍵 - Human and environmental health, fair distribution of profit - and importantly, government action to enable people to make #goodfood choices

On my way home from the @UKFS_CDT #FoodSystems symposium in London, as I placed my @Groundswellaguk water bottle down, none other than Paul Cherry taps my shoulder to say hello! Little farming fan boy moment 🤩

Concludes by making the point that farmers, scientists, advisors and others, responded to the challenge of maximum production brilliantly and rapidly. Points to how this could be done again to modern, complex challenges related to climate change
