How Cooking Can Change Your Life
A FANTASTIC video about how the marketing of fast “convenient” food is pillaging your health and the planet.
Let’s get back to basics. 😀
Renowned activist and author Michael Pollan argues that cooking is one of the simplest and most important steps people can take to improve their family’s health, build communities, fix our broken food system, and break our growing dependence on corporations. The event was chaired by Tim Lang, professor of Food Policy at City University London.

What a wonderful day with the Permablitz volunteers working on Adam’s yard for our first ever blitz today!
THANKS!
Thank you everyone who came and shared in our first Permablitz day working collaboratively to develop an amazing organic food garden. You’re awesome
This really feels like a wave that everyone has been waiting for and we have so much shared enjoyment and excitement for the future of our group and where this initiative will lead us. What a wonderful feeling!MISSED WHAT WE’RE DOING?
A permablitz is a permaculture-inspired backyard makeover where people come together to share knowledge and skills about organic food production in their gardens while building community and having fun.
Much like a garden, what ‘Permablitzing’ looks and feels likes for us in our valley will evolve organically over time as we shape it together as a community.THE BASIC IDEA
The basic idea is that by converting our lawns into organic food producing gardens, people will be able to back away from a dependence on industrial agriculture and the shipping of food back and forth across the world. At the same time, it makes organic eating accessible to everyone.
NATURAL ECOSYSTEMS
In Permaculture we are trying to mirror natural ecosystems. Working ‘with’ the earth rather than ‘on’ her. Not forcing her to do our bidding with synthetic fertilisers and pesticides but rather providing what she needs to grow naturally strong plants with minimal effort/input. She’s smiling today!
A beautiful energy there today. Can’t wait for the next one! Janet PS. We’ll bring you update photos of the garden’s growth and our experiences, wins, lessons learned and plethora of produce waiting to burst forth! Don’t forget if you’d like an invite to the next Blitz (and learn what’s needed to put your hand up for a blitz at your place) please remember to sign up to the mailing list. Till then beautiful community…
