The first event of the Doors Open week takes place tonight at the Glasite Meeting House from 6:00pm to 7.30pm and will include a talk by Councillor Lesley Hinds, chair of Edible Edinburgh. The theme is Edinburgh’s Sustainable city food plan.
Councillor Hinds said: “I am delighted to be speaking at the Cockburn Society Doors Open day event this year in my capacity as Chair of Edible Edinburgh. The Cockburn Society is adding its voice to the call for better food for everyone in Edinburgh by making Scotland’s Year of Food and Drink the theme for Doors Open Day, and by signing up to the Edible Edinburgh Sustainable Food City Charter.”
Edible Edinburgh is a partnership of public, private and third sector organisations. It is an initiative which aims to inspire and motivate everyone across Edinburgh to work together in developing new approaches to food, making positive choices that are healthier and tastier and which bring social, economic and environmental benefits to the whole community.
