Edinburgh Local Food Network

The Edinburgh Local Food Network is a coalition of organisations and individuals who care about local food. We support the development of a truly sustainable and equitable food system for our region.

We are a new network, and are in the process of developing this site. We want to bring together and bring you information about the community groups, businesses and other organisations who are working to make it easier for those who live in and around Edinburgh to find it more and more easy to eat fresh, healthy, locally grown food.

We hope you will use this site to find out more about what’s going on in and around Edinburgh to develop a vibrant, sustainable local food system. If you are interested in what we do, get in touch to find out more, or join our mailing list. See Meet, Eat & Talk for details of the events we are running from January to July 2012 – please come and join us.
