365: 2022 year in review - a good vintage or a turkey?

For many, 2022 has felt like a very long year. Even after the turmoil of 2020 and 2021, the last 12 months have been particularly difficult, and last Christmas seems like a very long time ago. On the positive side, there has been possibly more innovation, ideas and forward thinking in the food sector than ever before. Stacked up against that have been an incredible number of challenges. Drought, floods, political comings and goings, the continuation of and the fallout from the pandemic, rising energy prices, avian flu and, of course, the war in Ukraine. There has been a lot to take in. So to reflect on a turbulent 12 months, in this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, we scrutinise our traditional Christmas dinner, and consider how the food and drink we are going to enjoy on December 25th has been affected by the events of 2022.   We are joined by three fantastic guests, offering their insights on the year that was. Paul Kelly is Managing Director of KellyBronze Turkeys, Tom Bradshaw is Deputy President of the National Farmers Union, and Mardi Roberts is Director of Communications at Ridgeview Wine Estate.
