The Village Revolution
The Street. The Communty. The Village.
The Village Revolution is a concept where each and every street in the UK is invited to become a close knit self resilient community which works together as a food Co Operative, using all the collective various outdoor spaces, to create a Village Farm.
When you begin to add up the space and gardens on your street, you quickly realise the potential. And for those with an entire backyard of slabs, stone or decking, there's still huge scope to contribute via herb pots or taking on an extra community bought chest freezer to stock surplus produce.
We have been in uncharted water for some time now and the cost of living and the cost of a food shop has risen to breaking point for many families, with it now common, parents skipping meals, even worse, children and senior members of the community.
A large proportion of the cost is spent on import and packaging, which we then have to somehow get rid of, with recycling boxes brimming and blowing out into the street, with unsightly rubbish and waste ruining the areas ascetic.
Food grown at home doesn't need bold labels, graphics and plastic waste. Within a UK street there is more than enough people, space and skills to work together and shape a 'go to' resource that will bring communities cooperatively together.
You don't need your local council or a pre designated space, to grow good healthy food.
It can begin at home and as a collective.
We are a Social Impact Network and our objective with The Village Revolution, is to facilitate a movement which enables and inspires an everyday UK street, and helps it to assemble and metamorphose into a creative food growing community.
If you're currently on an allotment waiting list or would like to learn more and potentially become the lead contact in guiding your own street or community in heading towards a future where you work as one, then please get in touch today.
We have all the tools and resources to get things underway.
