EPISODE 9: Mark Diacono – From River Cottage to his own ‘climate change farm’

Mark Diacono found his life’s purpose and direction through food and
he has dedicated his life to growing, cooking and writing about it.
Having been involved in the early days of River Cottage, Mark went on to
pursue his dream of creating his own farm, turning two blank fields in
southwest England into 17-acres of diverse fruit and veg plots, orchards
and forest gardens.

In this episode of Food Matters, Mark shares his incredible life
story with GIY founder Mick Kelly, along with his thoughts on modern
diets, food sustainability, and the transformational power of quality
homegrown produce.

GIY are proud to align our mission, vision and impact with the United
Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In response to the
urgency of the climate crisis, and in line with the UN Decade of Action,
our ambition at GIY is to inspire 100 million people around the world
to grow some of their own food by 2030.
