We’re all familiar with the bleak environmental outlook, climate change and the pressure on resources. Most of us are trying to do something about it. In this talk, I look at what sustainability is, and how better to achieve it with our food, and our day-to-day living. It’s something I believe passionately about. I will draw on my experience of managing our smallholding . . . we are now just about self-sufficient in fruit and vegetables. We have solar panels, a wood pellet boiler, and are zero sum users of electricity. And we try to follow the mantra of reduce, reuse, recycle. This talk will give everyone at least a few ideas how to live more sustainably.
