Compelling Online Events for Community-led Climate Action

2.00pm - 3.30pm Tuesday 13 October 

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.

Led by old hands, we'll make plenty space for sharing new ideas. We will capture these in a simple guide to share with community-led groups seeking lasting change.

We recognise the imperative to move beyond appeal to just those in our climate bubble. Join us explore how to engage effectively.
