Swap your crops to combat food wastage
The Green Futures programme will be the lasting legacy of Coventry's City of Culture year and encouraging people to be more environmentally aware will be part of that. One of the things Food Union has done is launch its monthly crop swap.
Every month it will be holding a stall on the Sherbourne Valley site for allotmenteers and food growers to trade out their excess crop for someone else's glut.
They want to help reduce produce waste and whatever is left at the end will be boxed up and taken to a food bank. Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ CWR's City of Culture reporter Ushma Mistry went along to the first one which also hosted traditional woodcarving as part of the City of Culture Tools of the Trade project and Song and Soil in collaboration with The Nest Collective.
