Looking North: Local Spotlights

In this episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Connie Hunter, the co-founder and owner of East Neuk Market Garden: a 4-acre agroecological farm growing vegetables, salads, herbs, and fruits in the East Neuk of Fife. She tells us about the journey that led her and her partner, Tom, to start East Neuk Market Garden. We also discuss what drew them to agroecological farming practices, and how growing food links to both public and environmental health, as well as our sense of place and community. Looking North is funded by the St Andrews Centre for Energy Ethics, the Scotland's Future Series, and the St Andrews Centre for Contemporary Art.Production: James Crooks (Centre for Energy Ethics)Host: Anne DaffertshoferSong: WoodsMusic composed and recorded by Oak Studios.Link:    • [No Copyright Music] Woods - Acoustic...   | Creative Commons - Attribution ND 4.0

For the first episode, we were joined by Dr. Roxani Krystalli, an academic at the University of St Andrews, a peace-builder, writer and storyteller. Roxani speaks about how we can relate to nature and place and grow roots despite living lives that can feel busy, and sometimes quite transient. And we also explore how doing so can be a form of practising care, healing and regeneration.Looking North is funded by the St Andrews Centre for Energy Ethics, the Scotland's Future Series, and the St Andrews Centre for Contemporary Art.Production: James Crooks (Centre for Energy Ethics)Host: Anne DaffertshoferSong: WoodsMusic composed and recorded by Oak Studios.Link:    • [No Copyright Music] Woods - Acoustic...   | Creative Commons - Attribution ND 4.0
