>Food Security
>
>A key factor in building local resilience against the oil crisis, climate
>change and economic downturn is food security, which means that much more of
>our food is grown locally, and maybe fewer green beans flown in from Africa!
>We can ‘grow our own’ and Annemarie will give topical tips on how to get
>started. We can encourage our food retailers to source food locally - we hope
>to have a supermarket spokesperson to talk to us- and we plan to share
>information on ‘ best practice’ local traders.
>
>Free event, refreshments available.
