Henrietta Green

Henrietta Green (born 27 October 1948)[1] is a British broadcaster, food writer, and local food advocate, probably best known for her championing of British speciality food producers. Born in London, she first published directories for the industry to source fresh British produce, which was sufficiently popular for her to shift her focus from trade to the consumer. First inspired by American greenmarkets, she has organised many farmers' markets; her first, in London's Borough Market, was in 1998 and helped revive the moribund market. However, after a dispute, the market banned her from further attendance. She has been generally praised for her commitment to promoting locally grown and produced food and her passion for research. Green has regularly appeared on several radio shows, particularly on BBC Radio Four's The Food Programme, and on television, including Woman's Hour and Taste The Nation, where she judged regional cooking. An award-winning journalist, Green has also written several books. Often outspoken in her opinions, she has been highly critical of the supermarket industry
