Update from Growing Manchester
The Food Futures Growing Manchester Programme will be running again this
year after a successful second year where our training providers supported
many new groups to develop their community growing sites. Our main focus will be continuing to support the groups that are already part of the programme although there will be flexibility to support a small number of new groups. An evaluation of the programme has been completed by The University of Manchester. The report is currently being finalised and will be available on the Food Futures website in May. We have a new member of staff to coordinate the programme this year. Lindsay Laidlaw will be starting on 1st May and will be in contact with more information about the programme. Esmee Fairburn Foundation – Food Strand Funding

The Esmee Fairburn Foundation has a long standing interest in food and in its
impact on people, communities and the wider environment. The Food Strand
supports work that demonstrates the important role food plays in wellbeing
and that connects people to the food that they eat. As part of this primary aim
the Strand seeks to bring about more sustainable food production and
consumption policies and practices. The Strand is open to both large-scale
strategic interventions and innovative local work. Its budget is £5million over
three years, from January 2013 although it may be extended for a further two
years pending a review during 2015.
There is a two-stage application process:
1. Make an online first stage application that will allow the Esmee Fairburn
Foundation to make an initial assessment and decide whether to take your
application to the second stage.

Turf to Tummies - Manchester Fayre's New Educational
Toolkit

Manchester Fayre is receiving exceptional numbers of requests for the
delivery of their new Turf to Tummies educational toolkit.
The toolkit is based around a large interactive magnet display board which
shows an animated country scene. The board is used to engage primary
school aged children and educate them about where our food comes from,
how it grows, where it appears on the Manchester Fayre menu and the
importance of eating a healthy balanced diet. The children are encouraged to
place magnetic pictures of various foods on the board whilst the rest of the
group vote whether this is the correct place or not.
The sessions have proved to be great fun for all involved with everyone
learning something, even questions such as “where does a kiwi fruit grow?”
have provided some interesting answers.
Whilst the interactive board and the learning session is used as a standalone
educational tool, it is most effective when the school to use this toolkit as part
of their own Healthy Action Week, thus supporting a whole school approach.
For more information contact manchesterfayre@manchester.gov.uk. Looking to grow? Get involved with the Land Army!

If you're keen to get out into the open, learn how to grow produce, meet new people and help out organic farmers in Greater Manchester, why not join the ranks of The Land Army? With regular outings to learn about and help out with sowing new plants, harvesting crops and assisting with the upkeep of farms, it's a hands on experience that's fulfilling and informative. We are looking for capable and motivated people to volunteer with Greater Manchester’s Land Army on local organic farms. Land Army is made up of volunteers, placements and trainees helping to increase the production of sustainable food for Greater Manchester. The idea behind Land Army was inspired by the women's land armies of the First & Second World Wars, and offers a solution to a number of challenges faced by local organic growers, such as labour issues and costs at busy periods e.g. harvest time. The changeable and unpredictable weather we had last year means there's even more work than normal for growers to do to get ready for this season, so come and muck in! Up and coming Land Army opportunities:
Wednesday 24th April - a day at Abbey Leys farm helping maintain the orchard and heel in recently grafted fruit trees (pick up at 9 am in Hulme, Drop off by 5.30 in Hulme) Thursday 9th May – a day helping Glebelands City Growers on their organic market garden in Sale (pick up at 9 am in Hulme, drop off by 5.30pm in Hulme) Practicalities on the day:
A day out with the Land Army is quite a physical day’s work (though we'll look after you and make sure we get proper breaks!), but it's really satisfying and a great chance to get your hands dirty, experience and learn a bit about market garden/field scale food growing from the experts, and spend the day with a like minded and interesting bunch of people like you! We'll provide lunch and hot drinks, and your transport from Hulme to the farm and back again. Make sure you come prepared. Wear sturdy boots/shoes, and bring drinking water, snacks (if you like to nibble while you work!), waterproofs & sun cream/a sun hat (we can dream!) To book on to one of these trips email us at: chloe@kindling.org.uk So get in touch to book on to one of these trips – the Land Army Needs
(and it's good fun too!)
For more information visit the Land Army pages at:

All the farms involved in the programme are also working alongside
Manchester Veg People, a pioneering co-operative of organic producers and
buyers in Greater Manchester.

National News
Review into FSA response to horse meat incident
The FSA Board has just agreed that a review will be carried out into the Agency’s response to the recent incidents of adulteration of processed beef products with horse and pig meat and DNA. This work will be conducted independently of the Agency, headed by Professor Pat Troop with a secretariat provided by the FSA. Professor Troop will have unrestricted access to all documents held by the FSA that are relevant to the scope of the review. She will also have access to FSA Board members and officials. The secretariat will aim to secure access to any external people or organisations as necessary. The findings of the review will be presented to the Board at its open Board meeting on 4 June 2013, with a formal report to be submitted to the FSA by the end of June 2013 for publication. This project will feed into a larger Government review of this issue.
