His work focuses on developing projects for education and research around growing food for nutrition. Author of ‘Beyond Organic, a Vision of the Future’, published in the Soil Association’s journal Mother Earth, Matthew contends that food quality should be defined by its nutrient qualities which, if a standard were calibrated correctly, will lead humans towards forming a symbiotic relationship with nature because it would require healthy soil, water and air to grow better food plants, increase biodiversity of soil and gut microorganisms which would lead to better health of animals and humans.
