Chapter 3
We open on a discussion about the value of agriculture - and the perceived value we give (or don't) to the everyday ingredients that bartenders use.

In Search of Locality

In this episode, we go in-depth into the importance of understanding who and what are behind the ingredients that we use behind our bars. ​

We go on the road to speak to experts from the UK, Thailand and Argentina who have focused their careers on highlighting the value of looking after the land and communities who cultivate ingredients. ​
