Sustainability involves a complex web of interconnectedness between consumer, brewery, supplier and worker.

Colin Johnston (Crisp Malting) and Fergus Fitzgerald (Adnams) discuss some of the issues.

Recorded live at Cambridge Beer Festival.

Sometimes a brewery comes along that captures minds, captures imaginations, captures hearts even, and reminds us that beer can be all about people, about story, and about the wish to make the world a better place.

Emma visits Good Things Brewing Co and speaks to Chris Drummond about his vision of a fully-sustainable brewery.

It's hard to switch on the television or open a newspaper nowadays without coming across something about the environment and the importance of protecting it. Whether it's Greta Thunberg, Extinction Rebellion or David Attenborough, the message would seem to be clear: we all need to act more sustainably.

But how are breweries responding to this challenge?
