Making Local Food Work: Manchester

Wed, 07/12/2011 - 10:05 — Rob

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.

We live on a finite planet with finite resources, and it is obvious that there are limits to growth - limits to the rate at which the global economy can grow, and consume the world's resources. We live in an era of unparalleled economic growth, and nobody seems to be doing anything to stop it, and the Earth is being eaten alive. To save the Earth, we must stop economic growth. To do this monetary reform is desperately needed, and the video and web links in this article will tell you why.

I didn't get to see much of the entertainment myself however, as I was involved in a couple of workshops. The first one was called the 'Green Economy', and included talkers on LETS (including myself), social enterpise, and a district wide loyalty card which is being set up in Manchester.

The second workshop, which I facilitated, was about local food, and enjoyed speakers from Kindling Trust, Leyland's City Farm, Slow Food Manchester, and an nutritional scientist from the MMU. Both workshops provided good discussion and an opportunity to network and meet interesting people.

What is Sustainable Food? - Home grown video

Fri, 05/11/2010 - 11:04 — Rob

A film made by Manchester's Kindling Trust, which explains the various elements we need to consider in building a sustainable food system. The ideas were developed by a group of over 50 organisations working on sustainable food issues in Greater Manchester, UK.

 

Features a variety of Manchester based sustainable food projects, including Unicorn Grocery, Glebelands organic market garden, DIG delivery, and Hulme Community garden centre.
 

Kindling Trust is deeply indebted to Abi McLoughlin, who shot and edited this film with a budget of under £100!
