In the Summer and Autumn 2007, people living and working in Middlesbrough will participate in a project devoted to local food production and reducing food miles. Around 1000 people who live and work in Middlesbrough will grow fruit and vegetables in small, medium and large-sized containers at different locations across the town. Local horticulturalists, allotment growers, farmers and food producers will act as mentors. On September 22 they had a huge communal meal.
