One Love One Planet

We talk to Laura Bottin from the Avon Gleaning Network all about the ancient practice of gleaning, which is seeing a resurgence, and how this benefits our mental health while also tackling food poverty and food waste. We even get into the details of different types of pumpkins and which ones are best for cooking!
