Sustainability

The World Commission on Environment and Development (1987) defines sustainable development as development that ‘meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs’. In other words sustainable development means that the well being of the people should at least be increasing over-time.

By growing our own vegetables, we are fulfilling one of our basic needs.

Continuity

I very much hope that this important project will continue in future years. May God bless all those who have started this.

There is a new campaign called Dig for Victory which is getting people to commit to growing some of their food at home and eating more locally and seasonally. It's at http://www.wedigforvicory.co.uk and it would be great if your blog could join in the campaign.

Many thanks,
