In Trento & just delivered the opening keynote ('Systems thinking through the lens of food') to the residential course for participants of the Growing Green Minds project. Great to work with highly motivated educationalists keen to bring food systems mapping into the classroom #foodsystems

Just watched interview with Tracy Emin as part of BBC World news #100 women series. Realised I had seriously underestimated- like many men I suspect - what an extraordinarily capable, determined & visionary artist she is.

Delighted to see this in print! Congrats Hannah and my respect for your indefatigable willingness to redraft & revise. Thanks for the hat tip but praise is all yours. This is a critical insight into the UK horticultural sector.
