Incredible Edible Lambeth Information

Incredible Edible Lambeth (IEL) is a network of food growers and activists who are working to improve our communities. We exist to re-localise the food system in Lambeth so that it nurtures us and strengthens our communities. We do this by bringing in resources and funding, running programmes and services and advocating for our members and a more localised food system. Where did it all start? It all started in with Incredible Edible Todmorden and we found the ethos inspiring. We believe in systems which are easily replicable and have an eco-system of their own. Many of our projects demonstrate this. As part of the Incredible Edible Network, IEL strives to serve up three 'Plates' - a central vision of the original Incredible Edible Todmorden. These three plates are: The Community Plate This plate is about encouraging people to look at their local environment and see how they can transform spaces into areas where food can be grown. But the Community Plate doesn't stop at its local patch - it's also about how a local community can work together, by partnering (for example, with a local Food Bank), sharing (both expertise and produce) and supporting each other in times of crisis.
