Transition Nottingham's URBAN HARVEST FESTIVAL

Can Nottingham feed itself?

Come along to an open cafe style event hosted bt Transition Nottingham, to discuss this vital question.  The aim is to bring our ideas and creativity to the discussion, and also to come up with an action plan of how to take things forward.

We are hoping that a new sub-group of Transition Nottingham, focussing on food, will emerge from this discussion.

Conventional food production consumes large amounts of fossil fuels and is responsible for considerable carbon dioxide emissions. A key aim of the transition process is to produce an Energy Descent Action Plan – a plan for how the community will sustain itself and thrive whilst reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and our CO2 emissions. We need to look at all aspects of how we feed ourselves in Nottingham, and how we will do this in the future. The solutions we come up with will form part of the back bone of our Energy Descent Action Plan.

To do this we need input from anyone who has an interest in food (most of us?) – growers, producers, sellers and eaters!
