Oxford Real Farming Conference

Five of our band were at ORFC: @Joe McCrohon @Daniel Scharf @Richard Luff @Hannah Gardiner Our stand there was a great success. A lot of enthusiasm: all our flyers were taken and we collected 21 email addresses. A lot of support at our stand for the soft launch of a Forest Garden in a Box 

@Richard Luff reflected that "agro-ecological approaches are coming of age and the people involved in food systems and climate change are starting to recognise this. As a Board of directors, with our membership/supporters we need  to be able to communicate  FG's place in this system and highlight/quantify why these are so great!" 🙂  We also connected with the charity Food Matters and will explore further collaboration with them. FYI Food Matters facilitated a ‘big tent’ event for Worthing and Adur’s local food system, a gathering we stimulated through our Round Table work at the Council. We also connected with Henry Dimbleby who is leading on behalf of DEFRA the National Food Strategy.
