London stages ‘good food’ events
A sustainable food organisation is working hard to bring dozens of good food events to London in a bid to promote healthy and local food.
There are currently more than 40 such events being held across the capital, managed by London Food Link and funded by the London Development Agency’s London Food Small Grants for Sustainable Food for London.
Events include community harvest-time celebrations, sustainable seafood training for foodservice professionals and meet-the-producer exhibitions hosted by some of London’s award-winning and green-minded food businesses.
The grant programme is aimed at helping mount local events to communicate the importance of issues such as healthy eating and buying seasonal, local, Fairtrade and organic food.
Ben Reynolds, director of London Food Link, added: "We are really excited about the range and quality of events that have been supported through the two rounds of this funding programme.
"Through these grants, answers about the hows and whys of sustainable food will reach thousands of Londoners and visitors to the city."
Full details of events taking place in the capital can be found on the Sustainweb.org website.
