Just Grow to Eat 

Aims

We aim to produce a 30min film explaining what is going in Britain’s countryside today - ‘far from the madding crowd’.

There are major land issues that will determine where we get our food from in the future, and how and why we should produce more here.

To further that debate, this film could be used by communities or online, so that food & farming becomes part of our discourse about the future of the UK.

Plan

We need to raise £6000 to pay for production costs that include a director, presenter, voiceover and old footage. We have already received a donation of £3,500, leaving a total of £2,500 to be raised.

Join one of two walks

We are planning two tours in the Lancashire countryside on Saturday 7th June in Slaidburn and Thursday 10th July in Barley for filming more about what is going on. Anybody making a small contribution can join these tours. They will start at 11.00am and last till 3 pm. Moderate but hilly walking conditions. If you’d like to come along on the walks please make contact asap. Ltd places.

The full film will include questions suitable for debate and further links to follow up.
