Growing your own vegetables can be a great way to cut down on the food miles in getting produce from the field (and overseas) to the dining table, and it's a great way to get young ones involved by teaching them about where their food comes from. Landsharing has taken off in the last year thanks to the Channel 4 show River Cottage, that promoted the idea of trading time and land for the benefit of the community. |

Thanks for this one Gemma. Having looked at the LE65 postcode there seem to be a reassuring number of community minded people - but as you say, we could do a lot better. Nice to have another ready-made website to exploit, and it would be nice to track how many users register from this area over time. |

There is a project based in Leicester - Fareshare - redistributing shortdated foods to others - is this something that could be promoted too. |
