In November 2024 the Good Food Bucks Steering Group met to consider our priorities for 2025. We decided to focus on Access, Celebrate and Collaborate but what does Access mean for our Food Partnership.
In January we joined Kathleen Finlay from Glynwood Center for Regional Food and Farming and the Rome Sustainable Food Project for a food conversation. We learnt about the importance of regenerative agriculture and how that forms the central pillar of their work, along with ways to build Community Supported Agriculture that supports both the farmer and the community.
Following this thought provoking session we've decided to investigate access to land for growing food and for new entrant incubator projects as well as mapping the current land use in the county. This will also include our local NHS growing projects such as NHS Forest, which support food growing within hospitals grounds.
If you enjoy baking or eating fresh baked loaves and other tasty treats then have a look at Real Bread Week later in February. This year Real Bread Week is 15th - 23rd February 2024 and aims to encourage everyone to either bake their own bread or buy additive free bread from their local independent bakery. Have a look at their website to see how you can get involved this year.
