Having read this article about how much food we currently waste and got rather depressed I was inspired to read about the Secret Seed Society. For so many of us the growing of food is totally removed from our everyday lives. Wouldn't it be great if more of us could get involved the growing of our own food, or even just having a better understanding of where it all comes from. It certainly isn't easy for many. I for one live in a flat with no garden, but just growing a few herbs on the window sill is enormously satisfying. Okay so it might not be the silver bullet to stop climate change and reduce all the waste there currently is, but it certainly is one step in the right direction.
Maybe if we had a little more of ourselves invested in the food we eat, less of it might end up in landfill. Perhaps the first stage is to sign up as a Seed Agent...
