Once again in this episode, we will be crossing the pond. Andrea Freeman is an American academic and author. Her book "Ruin their Crops on the Ground" relates the history, and current state, of the US food system; especially how it affects marginalised communities. It is a story that is, at best rife with ignorance, and at worst, fraught with deliberate harm.

You can purchase Andrea's book from here

Because this wasn't intended for the podcast you'll hear a lot more from me than usual, along with some insights into how the podcast is made.
