Edible As$ets: Securing money for your food initiative

On 14th September 2010 Local Action on Food organised "Edible As$ets; Securing money for your food initiative" in Bristol to explore different ways in which food initiatives can become financially sustainable.  The conference was held because financial viability is one of the key problems that many members of the network (as well as other food projects and organisations) struggle with.  Some of the ideas that were discussed throughout the day were how to work with local authorities delivering services, community finance and shares, funding, and businesses management and organisational structure.
