Cornwall’s food and drink producer and farming community are invited to a special event aimed at fostering a more resilient local food system. Roots to Resilience, a collaborative session bringing together growers, farmers, food producers, and solution-providers, is set for Friday, October 24, at the Callywith STEM Skills Centre in Bodmin.
The event is a unique opportunity to connect and collaborate, with the core goal of matching local produce with processor demand and reducing Cornwall’s reliance on imports. Organizers, Cornwall note that there’s a clear and growing demand for local ingredients like tomatoes, onions, and root vegetables from processors and makers right here in the county.
This session will go beyond simple networking. It will focus on mapping volumes, identifying gaps, and establishing efficient routes to market to determine what practical, investable next steps are needed to build the right infrastructure in Cornwall.
This event is essential for anyone involved in Cornwall’s food and drink sector, including:
• Growers and Farmers: Share your expertise and connect directly with local buyers.
• Food and Drink Producers: Find local, high-quality ingredients to use in your products.
• Anyone working on Cornish food infrastructure: Contribute to a stronger, more sustainable food system for the entire region.
Don’t miss this chance to be a part of a crucial conversation that will shape the future of Cornwall’s food supply.
