LOCAL FOOD
Local Food p/b

Tamzin Pinkerton and Rob Hopkins 2009 Size: 22 x 22cm

How to make it happen in your community
Many more people are becoming aware of the importance of buying locally as well as growing and eating their own seasonal and organic fruit and vegetables. With the current economic pressures and increasing concerns about climate change and peak oil, there is the knowledge we need to do more to reduce our dependence on the global food market.

Local Food is a wonderful book! Inspiring and practical on what can be achieved if you get together with other people in your street, village or town.
It explores a huge range of initiatives for rebuilding a diverse, resilient local food network – including community gardens, farmers’ markets, Community Supported Agriculture schemes and projects in schools. There are masses of information for you to get ideas up and running.

Many Transition initiatives and community projects are already up and running and the authors draw on this practical experience. There are pages from people from all walks of life who are already involved with local food, explaining their thoughts and experiences. Other pages written by people who have been involved for some time - for example - Sue Clifford and Angela King from Common Ground, who started the community orchard schemes.

This is a wonderful book and if you are interested at all in getting the world in a better shape, then reading this book is a very good place to start.
