UK Fruit and Veg shortfall – national crisis or opportunity to build a new generation of sustainable farmers?

With the right support and resources we could seize this as an opportunity to boost the local food and farming sector in the UK. In Greater Manchester the Kindling Trust is working to do just that, making fresh organic veg available to communities, and encouraging new people into growing as a viable career option.
