British food debate

by Nick Vagnoni, Posted Feb 26th 2006 @ 11:08AM

Today's Telegraph features a transcript of a great discussion about the current state of farming and food in the U.K. The panel is moderated by the BBC's John Humphrys and includes several farmers, businesspeople and environmental experts as well as the U.K.'s Slow Food ambassador Wendy Fogarty, Fergus Henderson of St. John restaurant and Efreda Pownall, the Sunday Telegraph food editor. The discussion covers the rising popularity of organic produce, food safety, childhood obesity and the demand for good looking produce, among other things. There appears to have been a podcast at some point, but the link doesn't seem to be working at the moment.
