Scotland's first annual local food gathering "Building the Local Food Network" is being held by One Planet Food, Sustaining Dunbar, Soil Association Scotland and Transition Scotland Support this Saturday and Sunday 24th and 25th October.

Sustain and the Women's Environmental Network are holding a conference "Finding the Plot Conference: Access to land for food growing groups in urban areas" on 21st October, from 10am - 4.30pm, at the RISC Building, 35-39 London Street, Reading.

Landshare will be there!

Thanks to everyone who attended our first Landshare event in Bath. We had people from the local council, the Soil Association, local growing groups, interested soon-to-be-landsharers and River Cottage head gardner, Mark Diacono there.

And thanks to the Turner family who drove several hours in order to share their landshare experience - the picture above is of their site. They are growing in New Forest and there is still more space for other landsharer growers to join them. You can find the relevant landowner listing here:

The Melton County Fair is on Sunday 28 June - celebrating food heritage and markets, and showcasing a number of growing and food initiatives.

Food Up Front is a fabulous initiative that works on a grass roots level to support people growing their own in small spaces.
