Seed Co-op finalists in BBC Future Food Award

We are very excited to have been selected as one of three FINALISTS in the BBC Future Food Award, a category of the BBC Food and Farming Awards 2017.

BBC Future Food Award

“The winners of this award are providing cutting-edge innovation and pioneering work that could influence how our food will be grown, distributed or sold in future. This award is for an ambitious and ground-breaking idea found within the food supply chain; from initiatives by national retailers and major food and drink manufacturers to new models being put into practice by farmers and producers. Who’s introducing the new ideas other food businesses will want to follow? It could be work that deals with sustainability, access, health, energy or waste; any initiative which is scalable, commercially viable and applicable to food production and distribution in the UK.”  ….it says on the BBC web site!

Yesterday we were visited by Dan Saladino (Presenter of Radio 4’s The  Food Programme), Mike Stones (Future Food judge and Group Editor of Food Manufacture) and producers Rich Ward and Tom Bonnet.  They spent a day looking around at all aspects of what we do and interviewing us.
