Healthy Local Food in Schools

 

Here is a hot topic which everyone's talking about.

In 2002 Gloucestershire Foodlinks received funding from the SEED Lottery Fund and Gloucestershire County Council to run an 18 month "Healthy Local Food In Schools" project, managed by Made in Stroud Ltd. and chef Rob Rees.

We have recorded our experiences to help you work with your local schools, farmers markets and local producers and farmers to do something new and exciting in your area. Contact us if you would like us to help you run a similar project in your school.

Here are the main areas we have explored, click on the title to find out more;
