Hugh Fearnley Wittingstall, author of River Cottage books and TV series in the UK, has come up with a great idea to try to connect people with land they dont use to people who want access to land for growing food etc.
What is Landshare?
With allotment waiting lists massively over-subscribed and people right across the country keener than ever to grow their own fruit and veg, the aim for Landshare is to become a UK wide initiative to make British land more productive and fresh local produce more accessible to all. But all of this depends on people like you registering their interest now.
Sign up to help us build the momentum we need to launch this exciting project in early 2009. In the meantime, via monthly updates, you’ll get the chance to help shape the initiative and make sure you’re amongst the first to have the opportunity to be involved.
A very simple idea, using the internet to put people in touch, Landshare is a little idea that could really help people in the difficult times ahead, in the UK.
Managed by Channel 4 TV, the website is here.
