Sustainable fashion

Lunch-600px.jpg

On 15 April we were pleased to host a visit by Dr Helen Crowley, Head of Sustainable Sourcing Innovation for Kering, based in Paris. Land to Market leader, Tony Hill, along with participating farmers were taking Helen on a tour of regenerative agriculture in our district so dropped in for lunch and a chat with TMI and MCNF. While most of you probably don’t know Kering, you will certainly know a number of the fashion brands it owns, for instance Gucci! It is yet another “splendid” example of major corporates taking an interest and responsibility in how food and fibre is produced with sustainability and regeneration at the fore.
