Edible Assetts. Securing Money for your Food Initiative
14th September 2010
Paintworks, Bath Road, Bristol
Many food projects and businesses are trying to change the food system by promoting healthy food, selling local and organic produce or increasing people’s access to better food. Not only is this task large, but it is also hard to make these initiatives work, and be financially viable in the long term.
Local Action on Food is organising a conference to explore some of the possible avenues for food projects and enterprises to become more financially viable. Experts from funding organisations, ethical banks, service contractors, businesses and community groups will be sharing their experiences.
