The article expresses the author's concern regarding the nutritional value and waste management in food systems, arguing for redirecting financial resources to less affluent communities. During the spring busy season on their farm, the author multitasks by listening to audiobooks, such as 'Poor' by Katriona O'Sullivan, while milking cows. This practice allows the author to stay informed on various affairs without neglecting farm duties, highlighting a personal coping mechanism while managing daily challenges.
I have reservations about nutritional value, provenance and waste - and I'd rather see the money directed to areas that need it than affluent communities that do not.
In an attempt to keep some way abreast of affairs outside of the farm during the busy spring period, I've taken to listening to audiobooks during milking in the morning.
It's similar to what many people do on their commute, except that instead of trying to dodge traffic, I'm trying to dodge cow poo.
My current audio book is Poor by Katriona O'Sullivan, a fairly harrowing account of her life growing up with drug-addicted parents in London.
