On the latest episode of the Fresh Ideas Show, brought to you by Kanzi, hosts Mike Knowles and Maura Maxwell consider whether consumers really are starting to see fresh produce as trendy. After all, as more and more fruit and veg make an appearance on the catwalk, there’s a definite sense that health is very much à la mode.

Plus, Mike and Maura discuss attempts to grow strawberries without energy from fossil fuels, Zespri’s quest to become the world’s healthiest fruit brand, Albert Heijn’s decision to give its carrots a haircut, and a major funding boost for a major orchard AI developer.
