I'm absolutely blown away that I had the opportunity to chat with Rob Hopkins. I greatly admire Rob's work, it offers a positive way ahead considering the dire situation we face. I found his book From What Is to What If to be a brilliant read and often draw inspiration from it in conversation with others. It's an inspiring read, go and buy it from somewhere that isn't Amazon!

Today we talk about the bounty that adorns the English countryside; the unwanted, unpicked fruit, the forgotten orchards and the heritage varities that we just don't see in the supermarket.

Archie Thornycroft is part of Fruits of the Forage, the Macclesfield (UK) based company who seek out forgotten fruits and help keep old orchards productive through their family business.

Terry describes himself as a generalist with a varied background but has published a number of papers on consumer ethics, a co-authored book on the subject in 2005 and holds a doctorate in consumption ethics.

I’ve been looking forward to this episode since Terry and I first discussed recording together a couple of months back. I hope in this episode we overview the subject reasonably well and explain some of the issues with the current approaches to tackling the existential crises that we’re facing.

Brought up in Buxton in the Peak District, he's returned to live in the area and is bringing his passion for the natural world to local initiatives. Mark's vast knowledge is obvious when in conversation with him and I was delighted to spend and hour and a bit in his company recording this episode.
