This latest FeedingManchester will be taking inspiration from a spectrum of sustainable food pioneers from local guerilla gardeners to Incredible Edible Todmorden to the campaign to stop global food speculation. Along with the usual mix of socialising and networking the events offer something for everyone involved in Greater Manchester's sustainable food movement.

For a detailed agenda and more information about our speakers please visit the FeedingManchester website.

Land Army Needs You!

(originally posted as an event which took place on July 6th 2011)

Do you fancy learning some new farming skills; spending half a day on a beautiful farm with a nice bunch of people; helping out local farmers, and being part of a wider movement to increase sustainable food production around the City?

Then Greater Manchester's Land Army is just the thing for you!

We are looking for volunteers to trial this exciting new project with us. Working with four local organic growers, this first outing will be doing a range of urgent tasks, from a 'hoe down' to raspberry picking, at a time when farmers are struggling with the challenges the weather has thrown up.

• the rights of local and global food producers to earn a living wage?

Get the facts, take part in the debate and get inspired with some great practical examples.
