Mono meet up

So last week about a dozen people gathered at Mono in King Street to look at how we can build on the success of Glasgow Blasda event and moving the Glasgow Local Food Network forward.

There were people representing Locavore, Towards Transition Glasgow, Urban Roots, Dennistoun Diggers, G3 Growers, The Hidden Gardens, South Seeds, Battlefield Community Project, Dumbarton Road Corridor Environment Trust, Playbusters, Transition UWS, Abundance Glasgow as well as a few interested individuals. You can find all of these organisations and more on our map!

Gasland - the movie!

Glasgow Local Food Network presents... A film and local food evening to expose the environmental threats posed by fracking to our food, water and landscape. This is a pressing issue for Scotland as energy companies like Dart Energy eye up our natural resources.

Grab a drink from the bar and a bowl of organic veggie curry before the film. The screening will be followed by a discussion and a chance for you to find out more about the campaign against fracking in Scotland. http://frackoffscotland.org.uk/

Communal food and community spirit

Streetland in Govanhill held a Pecha Kucha[1] event as part of Refugee Week back in June. The event focused on community spirit and saw several guest speakers talk about community spirit from their own working and living perspectives.

One of the presenters was Clem Sandison who has been involved in the local food movement in Glasgow for the best part of a decade. Check out her inspirational talk on the video below - even better invite your friends round for dinner and watch and discuss!
