I’m also all fired up to start growing a bit of my own. A balcony of salad isn’t going to feed a family of four for long, but a chat with a friend who gardens tells me that if I plant strategically—tomatoes, courgettes, chillis and herbs for example—I should be able to keep myself going all summer long, since all are plants that you pick from and they generously repay you by coming back with more.
There it is then, a month of living organically and my habits have changed for the better. I can’t guarantee I’ll stick to it 100 percent, but it has shown me that I’m no longer comfortable with the way we produce food. Something’s got to give, and it’s down to us, the consumer, to demand it happens.
