I chat to Conor Gallagher, founder of AllotMe.co.uk, a brand new online platform linking wannabe food growers with local landowners to start using urban spaces for food production. Think of it as the AirBnB for gardeners and food growers!
We discuss the importance of connecting with our food systems, urban agriculture, the demand for and shortage of allotment space in urban areas and new technologies driving more sustainable food production. As well as why it's so important for global health and the environment to grow and shop local for food.
Are you looking for a space to grow? Been sitting on an allotment waiting list for years? Don't have much outdoor space so think you'll never be able to grow your own food? Then think again, this episode and AllotMe.co.uk is just what you've been waiting for!
