Now, a few weeks ago, Patrick and the Sustainable Food Trust hosted a very special event on his farm in West Wales.

And just over 100 people came together over a long weekend to focus on one of the issues that probably matters most to everyone listening here today.

We wanted to share with you just a few of the highlights of what went on, what was said and what happens next with you.

Now, Patrick opened this session by admitting there is no shortage of good measurement initiatives.
