Do you want to grow your own food but don´t own a piece of land to grow it own? Then check this out:

Landshare is a new initiative that linking people who want to grow their own food to space where they can grow it. Channel 4 is one of the partners together with digital experts including Sixtostart, Mint Digital and presenter Hugh Fernley Whittingstall.

In the words of Adam Gee, Channel 4 Commissioner, Landshare:

“…links people who want to grow their own fruit & veg (but can’t get an allotment) with people who have bits of land they can grow it on.”

It’s great to be a part of Landshare. I’m certain it will have a big impact. At the moment, 60% of the food we consume in Britain comes from overseas (80% in London). If we utilise the space available, that number could fall to as low as 15%.
