Interview with Miles Irving

Miles Irving, 'The Forager', supplies wild foods to top London restaurants. His customers include Jamie Oliver, Richard Corrigan, and Mark Hix. We joined Miles on Hampstead Heath at the Belsize Eco Fair for a rare video interview.

Miles has a book out called The Forager Handbook. Even if you don't fancy the idea of collecting wild foods yourself, it's a fascinating read!

Plight of the honeybees

In the last couple of years the number of bee colonies in the UK has dropped significantly, raising food miles on honey and threatening our countryside.

Two people from opposite ends of the country have come to Trafalgar Square and stepped onto Gormley's Plinth to highlight the plight of the bees: Jon Christophers from Devon and Jane Clyne from Scotland.
