Food that's healthy for you and healthy for the planet: Several shops and market stalls have chosen to distribute our 'Eat Well' information leaflet. Interested farmers and food producers are being encouraged to join us for one or both of these two events planned for the autumn:
'Six Inches of Soil' film to be followed by a short panel discussion on Thursday 10th October at the town hall;
The Food Conversation: Shaftesbury's own contribution to the nation-wide conversation organised by the Food, Farming & Countryside Commission to find out what people want from food. We could include food security, diet-related ill health, the impact of food production on nature and climate, food bank usage and more. Date now fixed - Monday 4th November.
This food and farming initiative is connecting with members of SuSAC and Immie Jones of the Feeding Dorset Partnership. More details are included on the website listings.
