In light of the challenges presented by climate change, we need to work together for a world where all share responsibility for the future wellbeing of our planet, and ourselves.
Incredible Edible is a campaign for more locally grown food, it helps encourage different people in the community to work together, learn more about food production and support local suppliers. From humble beginnings in Todmorden, Yorkshire, Incredible Edible is now a nationwide movement. Beginning with the planting of a few herb gardens in publically available spaces, they've now taken to planting and growing vegetables and trees all over town. They're now working with numerous public bodies such as the fire and railway stations to use their land or work with the campaign on their own Incredible ideas.

Just joined and found this. We are doing an Edible Eyam project in Derbyshire as a way of raising interested in food growing and reconnecting people with where their food comes from. There are linked project on composting and micro bed gardening. I would be pleased to hear what others are doing.

Hello, Pam - I'm a new Fellow of RSA and keen to get involved in some projects in the North. This sounds brilliant, as the environment, sustainability and community involvement are amongst my interests. Can I do anything to help spread the word, the project or anything else?

Pam, aye up chuck! So glad to see that the I E team is still expanding in scope and influence.
For the uninitiated: This is a brilliant and simply perfect simple idea that anyone, anywhere can join in and make happen in an abandoned flowerpot near you or something more grand. Make your street, village, town or city into a food growing common, a living energetic food bank for all and a life-affirming good thing. Do try this at home, children! Always ask for the kerb-holders consent first.
