urban growers


Last night we watched a documentary where Jimmy Doherty (Britain's famous TV presenting pig farmer) explores the global logistics that bring fresh food from around the world to a shop near you, and uncovers the science that keeps food fresh for weeks.

Great visuals to show food's global superhighways.. from small low-tech farms in Ghana to our supermarket shelves and huge water intensive potato farms in Egypt to satisfy our year long desire for potato's.

Its worth watching and is online for another 6 days here
