I went for a wee walk to process my first ORFC today. It connected so many dots and Iβd go again in a heartbeat. Now back at my desk thinking about community participation and land use, keen to meet others working on this in Scotland!

It was incredible to watch citizens from #TheFoodConversation take the stage in Westminster on Tuesday to share their experiences, highlight important questions, and make a collective call for change to the food system. So much passion and clarity.
