Event Information
About this event
This event is part of York Environment Week 2020. Find out more at yorkenvironmentweek.org.uk
Please come to this interactive online event to help us build a local food movement that will create real change
1. Find out from Good Food York, how better local food can help
- improve soil health, plant and wildlife health, and OUR OWN health
whilst:
- tackling the climate crisis in our region,
- bringing back more wildlife,
- and even helping to reduce York's flood risks
2. Share ideas of what we can each do to change things fast enough
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.
