3.7 Patrick Holden - Reforming our food system for our health

The Best of Health - A podcast by Tanya Borowski - Tuesdays

One of the many inspiring speakers at the Integrative and Personalised Medicine conference this year was Patrick Holden, Founding Director and Chief Executive of the Sustainable Food Trust. Patrick’s session really resonated with me as he shared his passion about the application of Nature’s principles of Harmony to food and farming. I am thrilled that Patrick agreed to join me in a podcast this season to discuss why our food system is in desperate need of reform. With nearly 50 years of farming experience, Holden Farm Dairy is now the longest established organic dairy farm in West Wales. As well as being hands-on at the farm, his role at the Sustainable Food Trust works towards accelerating the transition towards more sustainable food systems and influencing government policy - he only recently returned from COP27. I’m so grateful to Patrick for his time to talk about how sustainable food systems directly impact our health - there's plenty that we can all learn and do to support sustainability.
