Food security and Community Supported Agriculture

Here's an interview I did recently with Kirstin Glendinning from Swillington Organic Farm, about their Community Supported Agriculture Scheme.  Kirstin also works for the Soil Association, supporting the development of other CSA's.

CSA is interesting in the context of yesterday's UK Food Security Assessment.   It's pretty clear that we need to produce food in ways that is less reliant on fossil fuels.  Community Supported Agriculture schemes, which by their nature are usually local, and often look to produce food in less intensive ways, can be an important part of that future.  

The Swillington CSA is popular but there are still shares available - if you want to know more you can contact them.  They also have a pig and chicken CSA, run in association with Headingley Development Trust.
