An event for those who want to be part of a movement to create a food system across the Marches that is good for people, place and planet is to be held in early October.
The Marches Real Food and Farming Convergence will be held at Babbinswood Farm, near Oswestry, Shropshire, on October 4 and 5.
The event has been called a convergence rather than a conference as it will feature more workshops, practical demonstrations and chances to collaborate as well as speeches and talks. The two-day event will give farmers, growers, experts and campaigners chance to look at practical ways of building a resilient, agroecological regional food system.
“We plan to cover everything from perennial vegetable growing to holistic land management and local infrastructure for shorter supply chains. But above all we want to develop a programme based on the priorities of those taking part in the event,” said Jenny.
