This Organic September we are running a ‘Future of Food’ series where we will be bringing you insightful interviews with thought leaders in the food, ecology and agriculture industries.

In this video, part one of the series, Tim Field, our resident environmental scientist, speaks with Henry Dimbleby MBE, British businessman, cookery writer, co-founder of Leon Restaurants and The Sustainable Restaurant Association, and author of The National Food Strategy.

Tim spoke with Henry about the National Food Strategy (00:43) and the impact of the pandemic has had on our food systems (02:32). They also discuss the solutions to the issues the food system faces, looking specifically at the organic movement (04:40), the issue of food waste (13:50) and finally Henry’s advice on how we can each embrace a more sustainable way of life (21:02).
