Sea Cadets Think? - shows how out of touch you are!
Already a profitable commercial horticultural venture here anyway, apparently it sells a lot of salads in summer to cruise ships who prefer Falklands quality over Argentine

Not withstanding Islander's bountiful experience in such matters, I do wonder if the folks in FIDC ever look through their desert of filed (and failed) devleopment reports and schemes going back 30+ years. And before that, the years of UK ODA (for runner to DfID) baked “ideas”. Perhaps the new era is to sweep the archives clean, pulp and dig in?

”Which mushrooms?

The mushrooms that grow on Saunders Island, (in the open, not under artificial conditions).
