- Local Food is destined to be the bible for local food groups for years to come Review by Emma Cooper, review in Permaculture magazine
-
Local Food, the latest book in the Transition series, aims to help local communities rediscover their food culture and in doing so rediscover community itself.Review
The introduction and the first chapter cover the environmental issues, politics and history of local food, and it’s easy to become bogged down and despondent, but once you’re past that and into the chapters about different types of local food schemes, the book becomes both inspiring and a wealth of useful information. There are chapters on reskilling, home vegetable gardening, allotments, garden shares, community gardens and orchards – highlighting the need to grow the local skills base as much as mile-free wholesome food.
The final chapter offers a step-by-step guide to starting a local food group, whatever style of project you have decided upon, and is followed up by an extremely comprehensive references section. Inspiring, informative and a sturdy reference guide, Local Food is destined to be the bible for local food groups for years to come.
