In Manchester a variety of partner organisations are at the forefront of changes in the way food is produced and distributed in the UK. This short film highlights a little of their important work. Most of the organisations included here have been supported by Sustain (sustainweb.org/) the alliance for better food and farming in the UK, and the Making Local Food Work ( makinglocalfoodwork.co.uk ) project which helps people to take ownership of their food and where it comes from by providing advice and support to community food enterprises across England. Many thanks to Clare at Sustain, all in Manchester for their input, and Marley for the audio post. |
Did anybody watch Rebecca Hosking’s documentary called A Farm for the Future that was broadcast by the Beeb during Friday night peak viewing on February 22?
The film started of with an exploration of Peak Oil, and the vulnerability of global food systems, with interviews with peak oil experts including Colin Cambell and Richard Heinberg, and a whistle-stop tour of Transition Towns.
