Today we’re discussing soil care as part the #urbanisinginplace research programme sharedassets.org.uk/policy/cities-… Kicking off with @Anna_K_speaking speaking about what it means to care ...

Today we’re at the “Fringe Farming In London” event being run by @UKSustain & @MayorofLondon

Together we’re asking: can we support agro ecological food production in the capital and beyond?

#food #agroecology #farming #periurban One key question is what is the role of #greenbelt - 22% of London’s land is greenbelt but it is largely seen as a place of recreation rather than as a place of production
