British Waterways plans to grow more food alongside canals
British Waterways’ Chairman, Tony Hales said: ‘British Waterways is very excited
to be part of the Capital Growth project. The 100-miles of canals and rivers we
care for in London provide a green corridor through the city, offering an escape
from the hustle and bustle of the streets. We are working with Capital Growth to
identify any suitable pockets of land along London’s waterways that we or others
might not be using, and matching them up with local groups and schools looking
to grow their own food.
‘We are also looking into more creative options, such as giving a new lease of life
to some of our retired workboats, saving them from the breaker’s yard and converting
them into floating vegetable gardens, moveable feasts that could provide growing
opportunities in even the most built-up of areas.

A sunny, West Coast winter day in Vancouver - - Sharon dug up parsnips from our
garden beds and we’ll have them for dinner tonight. Just a month ago the garden
was buried in snow. But today, in mid-February, we found food for supper. These
parsnips were planted last spring.
One Student’s Passion for Urban Agriculture
Imagine University of British Columbia’s (UBC’s) most fascinating and engaging students
coming together for a day, giving ‘the talk of their lives,’ sharing their ideas
and discussing their visions for UBC and the world. Now imagine being there, with
students, alumni, faculty, administration, and members of the general public watching
this unfold and partaking in the various discussions, and think of all the possibilities
that this idea-share holds.
