A consortium of five organisations, including the Soil Association, have recently been awarded a £10m Big Lottery Fund grant under the banner 'Making Local Food Work'. Under the new stream of funding communities can apply for funding to promote all aspects of local food production, marketing and retail. The scheme intends to kick-start over 650 local food initiatives across the UK over the next five years.
