Our food system is broken. Flanked by the challenges we face today (food waste, labor crunch, climate change), and a backdrop where food demand is expected to double by 2050, proceeding ‘business-as-usual’ is simply unsustainable.
We need to radically rethink how we will feed ourselves, starting from the very fundamentals of how we grow our own food.
So why not get in touch with your food source by growing your own ingredients? Not only does this reconnect us with nature, it’s a great bonding activity to try with your family!
Many of us who have tried growing something of our own found the process to be deeply rewarding. And today, we want to share that joy by inviting you to join us on a journey to grow our own edible crops. From scratch.
Wait no further. Let’s #GetGrowin!
- Decide on an edible plant to grow over the next 8 weeks.
- Share your progress on IG. Follow and tag us at @slicerobocafe in your post/story, and hashtag #justgrowlah.
