As a year of hardship and challenge reaches its end, the third volume of Seed looks to the future; to how we emerge from a period of crisis, draw hope from the months ahead; and grow and build from the lessons learned. Many people sought to balance the confinement of lives led inside by cultivating a relationship with nature. With that in mind, this issue celebrates the sanctuary of the outdoors and all that it can do to support our mental and physical wellbeing. We also share recipes with a focus around reducing food waste, and offer our own tips for how to reduce or eradicate plastic from our kitchens.
