The UK’s food system is broken. While Covid-19 has revealed our island nation’s vulnerability to food shortages – being heavily reliant on imported goods and labour – the average farmer’s age is 59, with new entrants facing an uphill struggle due to extortionate land prices and a lack of start-up funding. The chemical-intensive farming techniques are killing off our living soil and biodiversity. Climate change is bringing even more uncertainty to the farming calendar.

What can we do as individuals and communities to counter these worrying trends, increase our own health and feed ourselves sustainably now and in the future?

Join XR Godalming in conversation with Edwin Brooks, founder of Ed’s Veg market garden in Liphook, Hampshire and Page Dykstra, coordinator for Community Supported Agriculture UK, to discover how people across the UK are using small-scale, ecologically minded farming to benefit people and planet.

There will be ample time for questions: maybe you’ll be inspired to grab a broadfork and play your part in the agroecological revolution!

This event will be taking place on Zoom. Attendees will receive joining information upon registration.
