Herstmonceux and Wartling Churches

For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building. (1 Corinthians 3:9)

 The next Farmers and Growers Café Service at Wartling Church on the 15^th of May at 3.30 pm,

Community wealth building through food and farming.

 Community wealth building offers an antidote to the current economic system which is destroying local economies, people, and our planet.  The food and farming sector has suffered massively at the hands of this system with food and drink suppliers prioritising profit over fair pay for staff and farmers. In addition, there are lengthy supply chains limiting opportunities for local producers.

However now, with the war in Ukraine, the Uk’s already highly stressed food systems are becoming under immense worldwide pressure and so the future for the UK food supply is ever more uncertain. In this event with our speaker, Rev Peter, we will investigate this current but ever-changing situation.

We will explore what community wealth building is and how it can be used to build resilient local food economies that capture this local wealth and use it to ensure everyone, in these very difficult times indeed, can access healthy, local, affordable food.
