I believe that businesses should stay current, should evolve to meet market needs. I’ve made a career out of improving supply chains.
But this article has made me think…
Dad used to supplement the farm/family income by teaching, Mum did the same as a physio. This was the world I grew up in…
But is it right? Is it right that the production of good food should be a hobby, something that’s done for fun? Is it right that countryside stewardship (including the maintenance of footpaths, hedges, dry stone walls) that delivers so much for mental health is so devalued that second jobs are needed?
I thank Charlotte Gurney for this article and hope that you will read it and – while doing so – think about the importance of the countryside to you and the criticality of the food on your plate.
