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

 Hi

I would be very interested to hear from any experienced Bee Keepers which would be interested in keeping Bees on leaf street or in the Urban Bios Project. 

Many Thanks

The third FeedingManchester event will take place on Saturday 13th February 2010 (changed from 6th February) to continue planning practical ways of making Greater Manchester's food system more sustainable.

This event will be focused on Manchester City Council's Climate Action Plan, its aspiration for sustainable food and how the third sector can help ‘double the amount of locally grown food we eat’ over the next ten years.

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:

The "Green New Deal for the Manchester-Mersey Bioregion" discussion paper has been updated and expanded.  It now includes some discussion of the bioregion in question and a more robust analysis of the causes of the triple crisis we are now facing (energy, climate, economy). 

It could perhaps be seen as the application of permaculture thinking on a bioregional basis - a kind of stacking of all the zones maybe.
