  Participants on our courses in 2024 said

“It really was such a brilliant few days, I learnt LOADS! I feel it should be mandatory training for everybody - a human right to have this knowledge! And I feel so much more connected to my own allotment, landscape and food as a result. Absolutely brilliant, thank you!!!”

“I’m trying to tell everyone about the course with enthusiasm but i'm not doing it justice, it was a fab opportunity”

“I will now integrate agroecology through current projects and occupation, pass on what I have learned over the past two days“

“It was an opportunity to connect as a progressive community working towards a more positive food system”
