intro’d to Pam here:

What should a community do with its unused land? Plant food, of course. With energy and humor, Pam Warhurst tells at the TEDSalon the story of how she and a growing team of volunteers came together to turn plots of unused land into communal vegetable gardens, and to change the narrative of food in their community.

Pam Warhurst cofounded Incredible Edible, an initiative in Todmorden, England dedicated to growing food locally by planting on unused land throughout the community.

and without permission..

and we’re not daunted by sophisticated arguments against small steps..

people are ready and respond to the story of food..

none of this is rocket science/clever/original.. but it is   i n c l u s i v e ..
