How Can Food Help York’s Environment?
Event Information
About this Event
Good Food York has been finding out healthy soil can contribute the improvements in our environment.
This event is part of York Environment Week 2020. Find out more at yorkenvironmentweek.org.uk.
Local growers need all their skills with healthy plants and animals to take excess carbon from the air and store it in the soil while giving us healthy crops to eat. The great news is that this is also key to tackling climate change, global warming, flood risks and wildlife extinctions. But we need to buy their products.
Come and see how Food Circle can help this happen!

About Good Food York:
We want York to be a city where it is easy to acquire fresh, locally produced, environmentally sustainable food–a city where there is no need to worry about how much your food has contributed to global warming, deforestation greenhouse gas emissions. We want the food we eat to help sustain local food producers and help develop a varied, reliable local economy. We are a Sustainable Food Cities network member.
