In this episode, hosts Beki and Gillian explore the powerful connection between food and the natural world — and how what we grow, catch, and eat shapes the future of our planet.

Since the 1940s, UK farming and fishing have focused on feeding a growing population, often at the expense of habitats and marine life. But change is happening. Today, more people are working toward a future where food production supports biodiversity, strengthens communities, and tackles climate change.

We’re joined by Nielen from Grow Wild York, transforming a 2-acre brownfield site into a thriving community garden, and Joe from the Whitby Lobster Hatchery, helping build a more sustainable future for the Yorkshire coast.

Whether you’re a gardener, a food lover, or simply curious about where your food comes from, join us as we discover how food can reconnect us to nature.

In this episode, we explore how nature deeply supports our physical, mental, and emotional health. In a world buzzing with screens and fast-paced routines, it’s easy to overlook the simple yet profound ways nature nurtures us — lowering stress, lifting mood, sharpening focus, and even boosting creativity.

We’re joined by Sefton and David, who share personal stories of transformation through nature’s healing power—from finding calm in woodland walks to gaining clarity beside rivers and tree canopies.

So press play, take a deep breath, and discover how reconnecting with nature can bring peace, balance, and well-being into your everyday life. For more about Sefton follow @seft_om on Instagram.
