Permaculture Manchester . . . lets put some green on the urban scene

Hi all
There will be a meeting to discuss local food strategies, especially
in the light of the forthcoming EU food directives against vitamins,
supplements etc and Codex Alimentarius, and non-labelling of GM etc.
Many people are wondering what is going to happen at the beginning of
next year when the directive comes into place and we are going to have
a local discussion about
education
local food schemes
local permaculture and ecobuild initiatives
funding bids for sustainability
World Food Day on Oct 16th

For those of you who might not know too much about the forthcoming
legislation, please visit the site below:
http://www.anhcampaign.org/campaigns/codex

During the meeting on the 3rd we are talking about positive strategies
and therefore the meeting is not to discuss the legislation and codex
itself, so it is advised that you do come with a bit of knowledge
about what is going on (not that we know that much about what is going
to happen)

We particularly wish to invite herbalists, nutritionists, ethical food
producers and distributors, and indeed, anybody else who can help us
shed some light on what we will and will not be able to purchase from
the end of the year.

The meeting will start at 7pm at St Wilfrid's Enterprise Centre, Royce
Road, Hulme, M15 5BJ

Please distribute this email to your contacts and if you can let us
know if you are attending (so we can arrange room/seating etc) that
would be great
