Care About Food? Help us review Edinburgh Food Growing Strategy
Date 13th January
Time
Care about food? We are a voluntary organisation with an interest in supporting locally grown food that is affordable for all and produced in ways that are good for local communities and for capturing carbon in the soil. We invite you to discuss Edinburgh Food Growing Strategy with us; it is currently the subject of a consultation by the City of Edinburgh Council (CEC) and we are preparing our response. Our meeting will have short opening contributions from [a/two] speakers with experience of advocating for, supporting or producing good local food to help get our discussion going.
Speaker
Stuart McKenzie President of FEDAGA
Re my talk - How about 'From Landfill to Gold - Communal Composting at Inverleith Allotments'. We are really old fashioned about 'Chairs' in horticultural circles, I'm President. Also FEDAGA - the A is for 'Allotments'. Avoid the Australian ascent!!
Cheers
Stuart
The CEC consultation is open until 18th January 2021 and you can make an individual contribution at any time before then.

Transition Edinburgh is the community-led local initiative connecting individuals and groups with practical projects for a greener, fairer, healthier and more resilient Edinburgh.
Our vision is a more sustainable, more equal and less destructive of the natural environment capital city than experienced before the Coronavirus Pandemic.
Our working groups show what is possible and showcase inspiring sustainable projects of other groups and individuals here and around the world.
Our Pathways to Climate Neutral Edinburgh 2030 gives examples of appropriate technologies and activities that exist in our city.
Our activities include:
Awareness raising through events, which include workshops, discussions and idea sharing, newsletters and exhibitions
Working groups which demonstrate that we practice what we preach
Promoting wider community action by engaging with local and national government on projects and policy development.
As a voluntary organisation we always welcome new volunteers and supporters, especially those looking to be actively involved in advancing our objectives. Please email us on Edinburgh[at]transition.scot
