Wishes and Wants!

Dear Local Food People,

Locavore would like to invite you to the next meeting of the Glasgow Local Food Network at The Glad Cafe on the Southside on Sunday 10^th February from 5.30pm – 10pm. It will be an evening of networking, experience sharing, short films and some tasty local food.

The event is being hosted for the network by Locavore with the theme “Wishes and Wants”. It will aim to identify how different organisations and individuals can form mutually beneficial partnerships which take forward sustainable local food in Glasgow.

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/
