Local Food Ecosystems

We know that 'system change' is deserately needed, but what does 'system change' look like?

And who is going to make it happen?

 

The 'Local Food Ecosystem' is a new concept in food suppy chain coordination which conforms to an alternative and more forward-thinking economic model. It is founded upon principles such as balance, wholeness, circularity, diversity, and interconnectivity, resulting in a food system which is less wasteful, more equitable, much kinder to our planet, much better for citizens in terms of the quality and healthiness of the food we get to eat, which nurtures food entrepreneurism to create vibrant local food economies, and which is, in every sense of the word, sustainable.

Locating Anthony Trollope

Anthony Trollope remains one of English literature’s favourite authors, writing novels, short stories, biographies and travelogues. Many of his works have

been televised.

Pamela Marshall Barrell has been a devotee since the 1970s, rereading both his own books and books about him and visiting and painting the many places associated with him. 

Using his own work as well as other sources, contemporary letters and quotations, she has sought to find out why it seemed that when he began his Autobiography, he dwelt solely on the dubious times. She hopes to show that in later life, he had begun to appreciate some of the difficulties his parents faced.

It remains a labour of love for Pamela, who hopes to show others how Anthony Trollope’s life experiences inspired many of his plots, locations and characters. Several years of study, research and painting have resulted in the completion of

this pictorial biography, tracing Trollope’s travels and family life, and providing insights into places he saw for himself and some he imagined.

Hermann Steputat, born in 1934, grows up in the sleepy, faraway village of Jokehnen in East Prussia – the vast, fruitful farming lands of the Third Reich.

Hermann’s life is suddenly turned upside down. Jokehnen and East Prussia disappear from the map of Europe and nothing can ever be the same again.
