Resources
Taste of a Better Future Network Directory is a networking resource for anyone interested in finding out about urban food growing and local food activities throughout the UK. Many of the contacts listed are multi-cultural food growing groups; some are food co-ops and some are organisations that help local groups.
Safe Food argues that ensuring safe food involves more than washing hands or cooking food to higher temperatures. It involves politics. When it comes to food safety, billions of dollars are at stake, and industry, government, and consumers collide over issues of values, economics, and political power--and not always in the public interest. Food Literacy: The main objective of the project is to establish "food literacy" as a horizontal theme in adult education and as a personal core competence, such as "computer literacy" or "consumer literacy". |
