Episode 15: Firecast 001: Pete Lawrence visits the Community Farm in Somerset

Campfire Convention Firecasts

The original first Campfire podcast featuring an interview with founders of the Community Farm in Somerset. In July 2017 I visited the community farm just outside Chew Magna south of Bristol and spoke to Ped Asgarian and Richard Garnett

I kicked off by asking Richard about food which he tellingly described as “a perfect storm of fashion and politics”

Food production is now so geared towards making profits for shareholders and corporations that it has lost site of its primary purpose – nourishment, wellbeing and feeding our world at its most basic level. We discussed how fashion and politics are shaping what we consume and how important the choices we make are in keeping us connected us with the land and our communities
