Our local river, The River Usk, is not well. It is a complex issue, with no single cause or culprit. Yet  there is a clear link between the food we choose to buy and eat and its plight. Our demand for cheap food drives intensive agriculture and the river bears the brunt, with increased pollution, flooding, and sedimentation in the water. 

So what can be done? How can we change the way we use the land while supporting those whose livelihoods depend on it? Join our panel of local river experts to discuss the changes needed at all levels to protect our river and build healthy, affordable food resilience.
