Listen "Lauriston Agroecology Farm and community"
Episode Synopsis
Lauriston Farm is an inspiring local collective that is transforming a former traditional farm into a biodiverse space that includes community allotments, woodland spaces and a market garden producing food for communities. I had a wander round with Grower, Dav Shand to find out about their food poverty programme, discover what agroecology is and to understand more about their food production, partnerships and vision. We saw the thousands of trees planted on the side of the Forth and the many initiatives introduced by the workers' cooperative. You can visit the community spaces and woodland and also attend workshops and open days at the Farm itself. It's a terrific example of an inspired community of people working together for good.
