About This Live Project v.2.1

The Sheffield Food Network is an organisation that promotes and celebrates the growing, sourcing and eating of local food in Sheffield. It serves the people of Sheffield though an online interface, as an online guide to everything and anything to do with sustainable food in Sheffield.

Firstly the Sheffield Food Network links sustainable food outlets, producers and restaurants to the people of Sheffield, but aims to extend this relationship by sharing ideas about growing fruit and vegetables, butchery, baking, local recipes, how to forage for wild food, and much more.

The Sheffield Food Network continues the exchange of information started by Grow Sheffield and Abundance Sheffield with the overall long term aim of creating an open social network, connecting people who have an interest in sharing Sheffield’s sustainable food resources. 

If you have arrived here on a recommendation or through personal interest, we invite you to contribute to the ongoing discussions.

Ethical Hijack : Sustain calls for change

I found an article that I'm in process of reading by Sustain who are lobbying the Food Standards Agency to adopt recognised standards for terms such as “local” and “seasonal” food and the term “farmers’ market”. The reason's being to make sure that the descriptions are not used inappropriately, but also to allow enforcement authorities to prevent mis-use, so that meaning and the quality that these terms provide are not lost.
