Incredible Edible Huddersfield

Incredible Edible Huddersfield is a grassroots movement, part of the umbrella of Incredible Edible Todmorden. Its aims are to actively promote locally produced food through community action.

More than ever - in a time of uncertainty in the climate, the financial system, and the availability of rapidly depleting resources - we need to address the basic requirements of our communities: food, shelter, and clothing. Incredible Edible Huddersfield aims to address these uncertainties by:

    1.  growing good food on land as close as possible to where the food will be consumed
    2.  building community through the shared experience of growing, harvesting, and eating
    3.  developing real, sustainable jobs from community projects
    4.  empowering young people to drive the provision of food for themselves and for the community
    5.  building strong links between schools, business, community, and farmers
    6.  developing community supported agriculture for local farmers
    7.  taking action and responsibility for food production together with your community
    8.  taking action in reclaiming waste land for the use of food growing
    9.  using local resources
    10. sustaining the individual....knowing what each individual needs and what each can offer

We have lots of ideas for community gardens providing fresh vegetables and fruit, community orchards, and an aquaponics unit providing fish and vegetables. We need you and your ideas to help make it happen in your village, estate, road.
