For the BBC News I’ve written a feature about the two farms in west Africa producing huge amounts of food for the UK and parts of Europe… a follow up to a radio programme I made with reporter Jack Thompson. bbc.in/4tN0KL4

The two farms in Senegal that supply many of the UK's vegetables
During winter in Britain fresh produce is sent by cargo ship from the West African nation every week.

I’ve a new book being published! ‘From the Sea’ is a journey into watery and endangered worlds & includes stories from Eating to Extinction + new material. Most thrilling is that it’s part of a series: ‘Oceans, Rivers & Streams’ which explores humanity’s relationship with nature & all things aquatic

When fragile infrastructure can shut down an international airport what does it reveal about the food system in the face of crisis? In this edition of BBC Radio 4’s Food programme I look at the dependence on a network of warehouses in the UK to prepping in Stockholm www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

For this year’s BBC Food & Farming Awards… I presented the team behind Groundswell with the Food Innovation award. Many farmers want to change and draw on the very latest science to better understand how they can work with nature. There’s a knowledge gap. Groundswell is helping to fill that gap.

Peter Frankopan’s books, including The Silk Roads, New Silk Roads & The Earth Transformed… aren’t explicitly food books but they’ve all made me think differently about the role of food in human history. Here’s the radio programme I made with him. Listen on BBC Sounds www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
