According to the UN World Food Program, one-third of all food grown and produced is never eaten, which, according to Our World in Data, generates 6% of human-generated, global greenhouse gas emissions. This was the spark that lit the fire for a community-based, social enterprise called The Long Table. Based in our own local community, just outside Stroud, the aim of The Long Table is to make locally sourced, wholesome food available to everyone, regardless of their social or financial background.

Their founder, Tom Herbert says “We put food at the centre of the community. We want to make sure that everyone has access to great food and people to eat it with.” At a time of climate crisis and economic downturn, the goals of food resilience and creating a community that looks out for each other, have never been more vital. That is why we have chosen to support The Long Table.
