Join the Food Group
In March 2009 a group of interested people formed the Tweedgreen Food Group and started to discuss how we might, as a community, regain control of where and how our food is produced. Our focus has been on encouraging more people to eat locally produced food, supporting local producers and local retailers. Local food offers greater food security, local jobs and local prosperity. If a food has to be imported, choosing Fair Trade products helps struggling communities around the world.
The Food Group meets around once a month and we are always looking for enthusiastic, energetic people to join us in co-ordinating food related projects. You don’t need to have any experience, or specific skills, just an interest and the desire to make a difference. To join the Food Group, email us at [email protected] and we will get in touch about the next meeting.
