Food column: The Hungry Gap will hit us hard in March

by Anna Lamotte © Shutterstock / Jerome.Romme Anna Lamotte runs Guardswell Grows with her sister Kirstin. Here, she talks about the ‘Hungry Gap’ faced by many in their industry, when farmers struggle to grow enough crops to meet demand. The ‘Hungry Gap’ is the short, but seemingly endless, period of time when Scottish farmers struggle to grow the nutrient-dense bounty we take for granted throughout the rest of the year. We’re not quite in the depths of it yet – it will hit us hard in March… although the recent snow certainly made us feel it more keenly. It’s something that we’ve forgotten about as a society – we’ve been lulled into a false sense of security because, for example, even though asparagus is ony seasonal for a few short weeks in May and June, we can buy asparagus at any time of year at the supermarket.
