The Rurban Revolution team will be at Glastonbury Festival from the 22nd of June in the Science Tent to talk all things urban food growing.

From peas in the playing fields to celery from the cemetery – our towns and cities have lots of spaces which we could use to grow food. But what would urban farming do for our health? Could it really help put food on the table? What would it do to our environment? Join us and explore what a future world where city spaces become food growing places has to offer.

Our stall is a celebration of the diverse science – from agronomy to ecology to psychology – that’s needed to understand how we can more fairly and sustainably meet our food needs. You will learn about the science of urban food growing, including where, what and how much food we could grow, and the benefits to people and the planet. With fun activities for all ages and a range of scientists on hand, everyone can dig it!
