Small Food Collective - Open Meeting (All Welcome)

The Small Food Collective Nottingham is mobilising. This is a call to Action!

Join us for an inaugural meeting; Sunday 8th March 11 am Small Food Bakery, NG7 1NU.

Please RSVP to Kim and Beth if you would like to attend; smallfoodcollective@gmail.com

 

A new approach to urban food systems is necessary if we are to support an agroecological revolution. Small Food Bakery was founded in Nottingham in 2014 to set about proving that a better approach is possible.

There are many mechanisms (production and retail) that need to be re-examined, there will be many solutions, and perhaps all of them are useful. But underpinning everything, a better approach has to be one where power is devolved into the hands of more people, in stronger local networks. Our city needs more food producers and shopkeepers who are prepared to step outside the status quo and work in the interests of building a new cuisine with ingredients traceable back to good people and healthy soil. That’s why we need to mobilize a Small Food Collective.

The Small Food Collective is a group of like-minded individuals who have come together in the spirit of cooperation and collaboration, to learn more about how to build a new, vibrant, positive food culture for the city of Nottingham. We want to hear from more people who might like to join us. If you want to be part of a community led movement to challenge the big food system please come along to our inaugural meeting, hear more about the collective and offer up your views.

This timely and important podcast series follows on from our @uk_grain_lab gathering last year where Farmerama producer and presenter Abby Rose pledged to find a way to tell the story of grain.
