Feed Leeds and Urban Food Justice (a social platform on urban agriculture in the Leeds City region) would like to invite you to discuss a Food Strategy for Leeds.
We will start by exploring food charts, food strategies and food policy councils which are recently being set up across the UK (for example in Bristol, London, Manchester, Newcastle and Brighton) and will then discuss what benefits and opportunities these initiatives brings to start working towards sustainable food provision, and how we can create a strategy that fits with Leeds' priorities and needs.
We think it is important that you attend and contribute to this debate with your experience and opinion, and/or help publicise the event to potentially interested people.
The event will be on Thursday 5th September 2013, at Skelton Grange Environment Centre (TCV), (Woodland Room).
