This is the website and video I discussed in health inequalities seminar on food insecurity. Great idea of sustainable food security using urban agriculture and community allotment gardens. Could it be used in English-style allotments? We already have some urban farms in the east end! great fun to visit if you never have!

And one more...Jill just remined me of this initiative in Crouch End, much closer to home:
I completely forgot that the castle climbing wall up near Manor House which I go to on a regular basis also runs an urban garden! Lots of produce is used at their on-site cafe. Never really paid it much attention before but i'll ask about it next time i'm there! I just found their sustainability blog too:
