Our Project Manager @alice_lmg wrote about her time at the @oxfordrealfarmingconf earlier this month. . From climate justice to the Black agrarian tradition, public health to farm labour, take a read if you're interested in having an insight into some of the contemporary debates in the world of food and farming. . "There were several themes that ran through the day’s sessions. Our relationship with the land was one: many of us need to develop a closer relationship with and understanding of the processes, people and natural resources that are necessary to produce our food. Another was around knowledge and education: what kind of knowledge we value; who we attribute knowledge to; the importance of sharing and passing on knowledge to enable future resilience; education combined with empowerment as a crucial part of changing our food system. A third would be the need to consider radical solutions and challenge the status quo, whether in the language we use, the way we approach food and public health, or the things that we teach future generations of farmers. Having now written ‘future’ twice in this paragraph, it’s clear that underlining all of these is a recognition that things, from the way we farm to patterns of land ownership, need to change to face the combined challenges of increasing environmental degradation and social inequality. . At the Food Hub we will continue to do our bit to build a food system that is fit for the future." . https://cambridgefoodhub.org/2020/01/20/oxford-real-farming-conference-2020/ .

A 'taste' of things to come in Northstowe... . On Sunday, the Food Hub team had the pleasure of running a pop-up cafe at @pathfinder_church_northstowe, to feed people who had worked up a real appetite by participating in sporting events in the activity day run by Active New Communities in association with South Cambs District Council. . In many ways this felt like the perfect precursor for the role that the Food Hub might one day have in the Northstowe community. Picture this; a team of happy volunteers had great time making two delicious #vegan soups out of surplus #organic vegetables. The soup was sold on a 'pay as you feel' basis, making it accessible to all, at a community event promoting health and fitness. Now if that doesn't epitomise the essence of the Food Hub I don't know what does. . Also on offer were snacks and drinks from @hodmedods, @savoursmiths, @ombarchocolate and @lemonaid_uk. . #community #localfood #plantbased #healthyfood #foodhub

Looking very happy in the @cambridgeindependent about the @hodmedods chickpeas we're distributing (and were raving about the other day!). With @fullcircleshopuk . Available at Organic Health, @radmorefarmshop @burwashlarder @fullcircleshopuk @arjunawholefoods . #localfood #plantbased #britishpulses #green #sustainable #agroecology #zerowaste

We'll be at this event tomorrow selling some wonderful local products. . If you missed out on getting one of our Christmas hampers - or the price or contents didn't work for you - why not come along and make your own? 🙂 . #sustainable #smallbusiness #localfood #localbusiness #christmas #greengifts #cambridge #cambridgechristmas #eco #greenchristmas

Are you a fan of ferments? Keen on kimchi and kefir? Or maybe you're yet to sample sauerkrauts? . Kevin and Lynda are the team behind another fabulous local producer - Totally Cultured, experts in modern British ferments. They use traditional recipes (such as 'dry' or 'wild' fermenting, that relies solely on the yeast and bacteria that is naturally present in the air and on the veg) with a modern twist to produce a delicious range of fermented food and drinks. 🥣🍶 . Fermented foods are a brilliant addition to our diet, and yet many of us eat very little of them. The transformation of sugars and starches during the process of fermentation enhances the natural beneficial bacteria in food. These 'good' bacteria (probiotics) are thought to bring a number of health benfits, particularly to digestive health. . But as Totally Cultured say, each of us should make up our own mind regarding the health claims. The important and unarguable point is that the more veg we get in our diet, the better! 🥦🥕🥒 . Their products are now being distributed through the Food Hub. Check out their website for more information on all things fermented... https://totallycultured.co.uk/ . #ferments #localproduce #smallbusiness #kimchi #sauerkraut #kefir #sustainable #plantbased #healthyfood #gutbacteria

If you missed out on our Christmas hampers, it's not too late! 🎄🌟 . We're keeping orders open until the middle of next week, but we may have to swap equivalent products from those advertised depending on stock. (Link in bio!) . Also, we'll be at the Eco Christmas Market at Storey's Field Community Centre @eddington_camb this Saturday, 11.00-15.00 with another chance to get your hands on some fabulous local products. Why not come along and 'build your own' hamper that fits your tastes and budget? 🙂 . #christmashamper #localfood #smallbusiness #cambridgechristmas #sustainable #ecomarket #christmasmarket
