THE HERE 'FOOD' SHIRE CHALLENGE - EATING THE COUNTY with TRISH MARSH


Presented by HEREFORDSHIRE FRIENDS OF THE EARTH & TRANSITION HEREFORD

Trish is a sustainability officer with Herefordshire Council and has taken up the challenge for a whole year to eat only food and drink produced within the county. The only exceptions to this will be for Fair Trade items such as coffee and bananas. She will be talking about the problems and benefits involved and how she is dealing with them.
An excerpt from the film, CUBA – THE POWER OF COMMUNITY will be shown as an introduction to her talk, explaining how the Cuban people learned to feed themselves when their Russian support system and oil supplies were suddenly cut off. Trish will also show a short film about local Herefordshire food and then be issuing a challenge herself to anyone who would like to try the idea for a week or a month to discover what food lies on our doorstep.
Transition Town Hereford and Friends of the Earth urge you to come along and be inspired by Trish’s example to prepare ourselves for the difficult times ahead of oil and energy shortages and food security.
CANAL ROAD DAY CENTRE (behind Morrison’s supermarket) on WEDNESDAY 2 APRIL AT  7.30PM.
A question and answer session will follow and a discussion on local food security.
FAIRTRADE tea and coffee will be available.
ADMISSION FREE – a collection will be made to defray Trish’s expenses.
