What's the future of food in Bridport, Dorset - and beyond?
Bridport in Dorset has a reputation for good food and drink, but could things be improved? Food Future Bridport organised an event in Bridport Arts Centre to provoke ideas and discussion about how Bridport could develop a healthy, sustainable local food economy.
After a short and lively introduction by Linda Hull, local food co-ordinator for Communities Living Sustainably in Dorset (CLS Dorset), a showing of the film Local Food Roots, and a talk by Ash Wheeler of Trill Farm near Axminster in East Devon, people were invited to discuss issues raised and then to say what they would now do for themselves and for their community.
Participants in this video include Kit Vaughan, who's restoring Prime Coppice in the Marshwood Vale in West Dorset, Mike English of Fruits of the Earth health food shop in Bridport, the Bridport artist, signwriter and gilder Jemma Thompson (she re-gilded the iconic golden weathervane on Bridport Town Hall), the Alexander technique teacher and organic food enthusiast Caroline Jucker, Sarah Wilberforce of Transition Town Bridport and Susan Readman of Bridport Community Orchard.
Subjects covered include the desirability of street and farmers' markets, the temptations and drawbacks of supermarkets, the role played by the influential West Dorset MP and 2010-2015 Minister for Government Policy Oliver Letwin in forming the UK's food culture, and much else besides.
