FOOD : Notes from Our Exmouth Our Planet Workgroup
1. What positive stuff is happening NOW in Exmouth ? Refill points (Mother Earth in the Strand , Heart & Soul in Exmouth Market) Organic Veg boxes (Riverford in Totnes and Barton Lane Boxes near Exeter deliver here) Veggie cafes in town - Sundowners , Infusions Apple Pressing https://www.facebook.com/events/495006454416660/ Exmouth Vegan Market https://www.facebook.com/exmouthveganmarket/ Farm shop - local and bring your own bag(Magnolia Centre) Exmouth Friends in Need (Reuse of anything and Food Bank) https://www.facebook.com/groups/2221982244741759/ Exmouth Community Larder (Food Bank) http://www.exmouthlarder.co.uk/ M&S money back on reusing bags Sainsbury Exeter now use non plastic bags for produce Iceland - commitment to "going plastic free" Ref "plastic game changers" Community fridge coming Budleigh / Topsham / Glenorchy markets Zero waste shop (Topsham) 2. Vision for 2030 Best practice is normalised - : an organic carrot is just a "carrot" in 2030 . The alternative is a "chemically grown carrot". A community kitchen where workshops and shared meals can take place A project where people can offer the (otherwise unpicked) fruit which grows in their garden for picking by volunteers Incredible Edible Community allotment No airfreighted food More seasonal eating More home growing More indiginous food More Training More allotments Community suppers Local sharing / exchange of produce Widely acknowledged link between food and wellbeing
