Food activists travelled to meet the Women’s Environmental Network (WEN) organisers in Tower Hamlets on 23rd October to learn about developing a sustainable food neighbourhood.
Representatives from Food Five Ways (Healthy Living Platform, Loughborough Junction Action Group, Max Roach Community Centre, Incredible Edible Lambeth and Myatt’s Fields Park Project) learned about Just FACT project.
WEN received funding from the National Lottery Climate Action Fund to develop a network of people coming together to create an alternative food system that is democratic, environmentally sustainable and people driven. Food Five Ways representatives were joined by people from the Black Farmers Market and Open Food Network.
Learning from the trip will be used to help design a fair food system in Lambeth.
