CEF Plenary Session
Biodiversity and Local Food - Planning for People and Nature
Tuesday November 20th
Imperial Hotel, Cork 7.30-9.30pm

This meeting will explore how local food production can have a role in sustaining biodiversity and the benefits to both from this type of land-use. As we move towards a lower carbon future, local food will
become increasingly important and city and county development plans can support this by allocating suitable space in all new plans for growing, processing and sale of local food. As food prices follow fuel
prices upwards how can we plan for food security at the local level?
What provisions can be made for establishing local food networks, community gardens, allotments and market gardens?

This session will be chaired by Dr Colin Sage, Senior Lecturer in Geography and Environmental studies at UCC. Dr Sage is no stranger to food security at home and abroad, having been involved in the One
World group for many years. A panel made up of the Heritage officers from Cork City and County Councils and their researcher Dr Lesley Lewis will outline their work on Local Action Biodiversity Plans for
Cork, together with a representative from Sustain West Cork to outline plans for the new Bantry Allotment Scheme.

CEF invites your participation in this timely discussion and further details are available on www.cef.ie and by contacting us at info@cef.ie, 021 4340348, 028 37884.
