Let's Go Wassailing!

Gilly Smith begins her quest to find out how to eat to save the planet on her own patch in rural East Sussex with the first gathering of her new neighbourhood climate resilience group, The Green Onion Society. They're getting back to the land to share their skills from bread making to tree planting and growing their own vegetables for the year ahead. They recreate the medieval tradition of the Wassail, to wish each other health and happiness in the bleak mid winter.

Om Podcasten

How To Eat To Save The Planet is the podcast that takes a comprehensive look at sustainable food production from field to fork. Each week, food journalist Gilly Smith looks at how we can learn from the past to net-zero the way we eat by learning some of the traditional skills that have got lost in our shrink-wrapped, consumption-heavy, busy-brained lives, rolling back the years to a time when food came from around the corner, when living off the land meant living lightly on the planet - and to find out how to do it now.
