I hope the @TrussellTrust would make their data available for researchers. It’s imperative we understand how social enterprises are generating value by ensuring there is less waste in society. Would appreciate if you can amplify so they will notice… #foodpoverty

First ever toot so might be rubbish
Thanks to my 91 new followers. My first impressions of this is that the real long-term value was the list of people I followed and that recreating that will be the faff, rather than getting used to a new platform.
This was a great episode - such an amazing back catalogue of shows to any Mastodon newcomers
