Quotes

*"There's more to it than commercial viability...There's the cultural and culinary importance too. I hate the fact that we're restricted to whatever Tesco chooses to put on the shelves"
*"My knowledge might become redundant because of the climate changing so rapidly. Trees can't adapt to survive"
