We don’t often post on this channel so please like and respond to this post so it appears in everyone’s feeds!
Exeter Food Action is where we get some of our lovely Food Shed supplies from. They work really hard to make sure food goes to lots of different community groups around the Exeter area. They are struggling a bit financially so if you can help please do!
From noodles to flatbreads and loaves, wheat provides most of the world’s calories. This year, thanks to war and weather, it’s now more expensive to harvest and transport. Russian and Ukrainian grain shipments are almost at a standstill. In France, Europe’s largest producer, yields are expected to be low and it's the same story in Germany.
Here in the South West, our friends at Gleaning Cornwall, who provide us with good, nutritious food gleaned from West Country farms, report that there’ll be none for the foreseeable future due to the drought’s impact on farm yields.
For us, the combination of rising costs and funding shortfalls is putting severe pressure on our operations, making our future far more uncertain than it should be. We know that times are tough for us all at the moment but, if you’re able, please consider lending us a helping hand, which you can do via the link below. Thank you.
