    FRUITS OF THE FOREST The desirabilities, possibilities and practicalities of a Waltham Forest Local Food Scheme Report by Ru Litherland for OrganicLea Community Growers, March 2003 OrganicLea acknowledge the support of Groundwork Trust in the preparation of this report Summary of Report This report aims to explore the desirabilities, possibilities and practicalities of a Waltham Forest Local Food Scheme. In doing so, it will first make the case for local food schemes, in general and for the London Borough of Waltham Forest in particular. The benefits – social, environmental, health, economic and cultural - will be briefly noted, as will the extent to which greater awareness of these benefits has led to increasing interest in healthy, sustainable and local food nationwide. The report will then focus on the main areas of existing local food production in Waltham Forest, efforts to promote local food, plus existing and potential demand from local people. The question of how a local food scheme would operate is then addressed. Various models of distribution, and of organisational structure, are considered in the light of specific local circumstances, and some recommendations made The issue of organic certification is raised, and an alternative local certification symbol counterposed. Legal ramifications of a local food scheme are given due consideration. In concluding, some suggestions are made for those wishing to further pursue the project of a Waltham Forest Local Food Scheme. 1. Introduction: Local Food Schemes and their Benefits To begin with, it is necessary to hone the definition of “local food economy”, “local food schemes” and other references to “local food” to be encountered below.

With regard to funding the infrastructure needs arising, there are a variety of funding sources available to fund the provision of infrastructure. 25.2 This chapter seeks to cover: • Potential sources of funding • Total infrastructure requirements to support growth to 2035 • Total identified funding gap Sources of Funding 25.3 This section seeks to provide an overview of those sources, noting that funding complex and multi-outcomes infrastructure projects increasingly tend to be funded not from one single pot, but with contributions or proportions coming from various sources.

  • The Right Honourable Boris Johnson MP Prime Minister 10 Downing Street London, SW1A 2AB
    The Right Honourable Boris Johnson MP Prime Minister 10 Downing Street London, SW1A 2AB 15 February 2021 Dear Prime Minister, You received a letter dated 15th January, 2020 from Mr. Richard Harrow, Chief Executive of British Frozen Foods. Mr. Harrow wrote on behalf of a number of Trade Bodies who represent those operating in the food service supply chain. Today I am writing to you on behalf of London’s wholesale fresh produce markets to echo Mr. Harrow’s collective plea for urgent financial assistance for the hospitality food service supply chain. In order for there to be a viable food service supply chain that can deliver to the high standards required by London’s world leading hospitality sector, this support is needed right now. Together we make up all of London’s iconic wholesale markets. As wholesale traders we have a long and very proud heritage of supplying the vast majority of London’s hospitality industry. Anyone who has dined out in London will have eaten our food and seen our flowers. We are critical to the hospitality supply chain, and supply restaurants, hotels, airlines, workplace canteens, cruise ships, events, grocers, butchers, fishmongers and florists. We also supply public sector schools, hospitals, care-homes and prisons. We are job creators and offer some of the more disadvantaged in our local communities the chance to learn and develop skills that are needed for the long-term sustainability of the sector. At New Covent Garden Market alone we employ over 2,500 local people, although sadly many have now been made redundant or remain on furlough.
