For our second episode I speak with aquaculture and sustainable fish-farming consultant David Bargh who explains how the industry has changed over the decades and what improvement can be made to feed the populations of the future.

Dave is an old university friend and shares stories of the fascinating places he's visited, perilous food he's eaten and we discuss optimism (or lack thereof) for the future of our planet.
