Episode 17_Agroecology World_Westport, County Mayo, Ireland (Part 2)
This podcast continues an exploration of the concept of a Community Food System begun in Episode #16 via conversations with the grassroots groups of the Quay Community Garden and the Edible Landscape Project in Westport, County Mayo, Ireland, who, along with other local community groups, are leading the development of a community food system and Climate Action for their region. In this Episode #17 we will learn about the group Edible Landscape Project. I was so lucky to live in this progressive community for 10 months in 2021 and become involved in several of their projects. Through a diversity of stakeholders and activities, this community is an excellent example of how the "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts" in terms of growing a sustainable food system.
