264: Mark Byford – The Bowler Hat Farmer
Mark Byford
Mark Byford, the Bowler Hat Farmer, spent eight months and 12,500 miles touring the UK to meet the farmers, growers and producers fighting to bring real food back to our plates. He talks to Jackie about why 72% of our food is now imported, how farmers can turn a loss-making acre into a £30,000 one, and why eating seasonally and buying local could save British farming.
