Incredible Edible Landscapes

“In wilderness lies the hope of the world” – John Muir

 

A TED talk hosted by Pam Warhurst about ‘How We Can Eat Our Landscapes’ has now been seen by over a million people and has inspired thousands with the community-based concept. If you have not yet seen it, you need to.

It started in a little town called Todmorden, a small market town in West Yorkshire, England. A group of locals met in a café, Pam Warhurst being one, they developed a concept of how they could develop their town into a kinder, connected community.

The concept of an edible town flourished from there. The Incredible Edible network now contains over 100 groups in the UK and 600 globally have joined the network. The idea is beyond inspiring, it encourages you to go outdoors and try and develop the same amazing community for your own little town. It promotes healthy eating on a community level, invests in the kindness of your fellow neighbours, encourages bee-friendly sites, creates spaces for children to learn about where their food comes from, increases the local economy.

The benefits are endless.
