Learn 2
I have been going over all the local info about food security in Dublin. I was surprised at all the result. I learned a lot about the programs of "dublin food growing". : http://dublinfoodgrowing.blogspot.com/
As far as solutions, this is all that I found in my research:
"Notes from the meeting facilitated by John Harrington, Cultivate Centre, March 29th 2008
recorded by Kaethe Burt-O’Dea (email: kaethe [at] desireland.ie)
VISION/MISSION
(our vision of a future Dublin if Dublin Food Growing is highly successful)
- All Dublin’s food (fruit and vegetables) will be grown locally by 20XX: Dublin will feed it’s own population, achieving food security comparable to Havana in 2007.
- Community: civil capacity building: The social and physical and economic aspects of community life will be nurtured and enhanced by the food system.
- No organic matter leaves Dublin: Fertile waste stream and water is captured and used in a closed loop system (including greywater, run off, and sewage).
- No space wasted: Every empty space is cultivated to become a productive edible landscape.
- Dublin Food Growing operates at all scales: From window boxes to allotments to commercial.
- Anyone who wants to grow food can: Space and resources will be available and easily accessible to all.
- Dublin diet equitable: The food system does not deprive other people of food and resources necessary to feed themselves
- Dublin Food Growing will become a driver in the International arena".
Meeting are held pretty much seasonaly, and I want to find out if it is open to the public or if it is for members only. I plan to continue to learn more.
