Food
This is the page for the Food Subgroup of Teign Estuary Transition. A key element of transition is developing and supporting use of local food supplies. This could include growing our own, as well as shopping locally and supporting our farmers. We can each help with these actions by considering our food-use at home, in public places such as schools and hospitals, and at work.
Notes from Food Group meetings can be downloaded from our site.
