The events of 2020 made me more determined to create a fun and ambitious long-term art/science/food project for the health of local people and the environment.
Edible East is an exciting new venture to explore the future of food in Norfolk with art, science and horticulture. Bringing twenty-first-century science from Norwich Research Park (NRP) into the heart of the ancient city, providing high-quality opportunities for the public to become involved in.
