Guest Veronica White turned her PhD research into a 3,200 km bikepacking adventure across England, meeting women farmers and rethinking the future of food.

Listen if: You’re curious about mixing purpose with adventure, love hearing how people tackle big journeys on two wheels, or want a fresh perspective on food and farming.

Key takeaways:

🚴 Sometimes the best way to do research (or life!) is to take it out of the library and into the real world.
🌱 Farming futures involves listening to farmers themselves to learn and reshape how we think about food.
🥧 Bike adventures rarely go to plan (vanilla pudding for breakfast, anyone?), but those detours often lead to the best stories.
