Much work needs to be done in joining up the agendas of food, homes and health – but interesting things are happening, writes Flora Samuel
Paul, a vegetable farmer who provides me with a weekly box of beautiful organic produce, has had to stop deliveries as, for the first time in history, his fields in Abergavenny have completely flooded and all his brassicas have gone.
While ailing brassicas are a typically British source of mirth, for me this offers a chilling taste of things to come when, with the onset of flooding, the Netherlands will no longer want to export food as they will need everything for their home market. We in Britain will have to swiftly bring our focus back to food production as we did in the war.
