A community project which encourages people to grow and cook their own food.
One of the biggest problems facing the world today is growing food shortages and soaring prices. At the recent G8 summit in Tokyo world leaders sought to find ways to combat spiralling prices of basic foodstuffs in the developed world and starvation in the developing world. As government advisors warn there isn't enough food to feed everyone, one Northern mill town is doing its bit to find a solution. Incredible, Edible Todmorden is a community project, involving schools, businesses and the wider community, set up to encourage people to grow and cook their own food. Jill Hopkins visited Todmorden to find out more about the town’s growing concern for self sufficiency.
