This is FANTASTIC.

I'm a deep believer in creating small, self-sufficient and sustaining communities, especially where #food is concerned.
(Small is Beautiful by E F Schumacher is a #MustRead #book

This leadership from #NewYorkCity is something to be admired.

Giving the local #community more #ownership and #sovereignty over the means of #production has so many fabulous benefits:
- Benefits #ClimateAction / #ClimateChange by reducing #FoodMiles
- Benefits local #people by reconnecting them with the food on their plates
- Supports the #Local #Economy by keeping wealth & spending in the local area for the benefit of local #business

#Bristol (where I live now) is a city of #UrbanFarms and #allotments. It's staggering, actually, how much production capacity there is here. And I'm proud of it.

However, we must also be attentive to the #equality and #equity issues. #LocalSourcing can come with a price premium (local carrots here can cost 4x supermarket versions from the other side of #Europe).
Local production must come with local affordability too. That's a redline for me...
