Local Food

Imagine if we could produce most of our food locally and lessen our dependency on the Global Food network. Here's the place to make that a reality. How will the food security of Marsden and Slaithwaite look? Do we need to 'DIG FOR VICTORY' or work with existing farmers to ensure they expand and can supply the locals with affordable food?

Do you already grow your own fruit/vegetables or are you thinking about doing? Here is the place to chat.

Not sure how long this will be available for, but it's worth a watch if anyone didn't see it. Episode three mentions Incredible Edibles.

I have watched it all and was a bit disappointed that it didn't do much on the movement towards local, slow food. Though it touched on changes to eating habits quite a lot, it didn't say enough on the impact of cows etc...... I'm sure this will have been too politically sensitive for the beeb to tackle, a shame.

Did anyone else see it? What did you think?
