PEDAL wants to help and encourage local people and businesses to produce and buy more of their food locally, and from organic sources. This means identifying and getting access to local land that could be used for growing food, and enabling local people to re-learn the skills needed for producing and preparing food. It also means encouraging people to re-establish connections with local and organic producers, buy more of produce from them, and celebrate local food!
Why is local and organic food important?
PEDAL was recently awarded a grant from the Scottish Government’s Climate Challenge Fund to take forward a range of projects aimed at enabling and encouraging people in Portobello to grow or buy more local food. For more information on the projects, click on the links below:
