Andy Cato, an award-winning farmer and Grammy-nominated musician will be at the Fringe by the Sea event next month to talk about food and his approach to agriculture.

Mr Cato, one half of the iconic Groove Armada, sold his publishing rights to fund the purchase of a farm in France after reading an article about modern food production’s environmental and health consequences.

His work in trying to find a more restorative and sustainable way of growing food saw him receive the 2020 Laureate Nationale for innovation in agroecology and the Chevalier de l’Ordre du Mérite Agricole.

Now back on British soil and farming as a tenant of the National Trust, Andy and his colleagues are on a mission to help farmers move towards soil-focused farming, and make real food grown in real soil available on the high street at affordable prices.

Tickets for the event, which takes place at North Berwick on August 4 are available online.
