Martin was spontaneously invited onstage by Vandana Shiva, where here received a standing ovation for his first public performance of "Recipe for Disaster", a new poem on GMO food giant, Monsanto.
Later that day, he traveled with Vandana to perform at the "Worldwide March Against Monsanto" outside the Houses of Parliament.

"Martin's Monsanto poem holds devastating power. I heard the first public reading at the Festival of Wellbeing in London. It brought truth with clarity, not least with a kind of conviction and passion that is all too rare."
- Tony Juniper
