We're talking food, not the tastiest place to eat, or the trendiest veg in season, but what kind of social, environmental and cultural impacts does food have? Aaron Maclean, the instigator of Stone Soup Syndicate, talks about decolonising your palette, the impact of the fishing industry and hey, you can grow your own veges from your own backyard (because we can all afford those, right?).
