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

Many of you will have attended the wonderful herb walks run by our friend Tim Moorhouse, well, the tireless work that Tim and his medical herbalist colleagues undertake is under threat. Big time. New EU directives threaten the very existence of medical herbalism, acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine and as a result we’re more than a little cross. There is, however, something that you can do to help – by attending a meeting at HCGC this Saturday, 24^th October at 3.00pm – at which, Tim will explain what’s happening and what we can do about it. For anyone who attended our recent Codex event this should be of particular interest to you but we urge everyone to come along. More info about the meeting is attached.

A workshop on the "Food Code" was given by Darren at the Hulme Community Garden centre. Here Rob talks to Darren about what the Codex is, what it means to us and what we can do about it if we don't...

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:
