Growing food has become a necessity to many with ever increasing food prices. Producing food sustainably has also changed from a 'lifestyle choice' to a basic requirement to cut costs. Food has never been so high on the political agenda and neither has the demand for the skills to grow it in back yards, allotments, roof tops, open spaces in cities and even on balconies of high rise buildings. These are the themes of this site; how to grow your own food wherever you live and the wider political debate about the food crisis, the impact of climate change and what governments are doing about it.
