Spreading the word

Locally the word about Incredible Edible Tod has spread like wild strawberries. People are exchanging seeds, helping planting, involved in every school and church, doing it for themselves.

And news of our campaign-in-action has spread far and wide: check the News for the latest, and the Media button for past and present online coverage. Our leading volunteers give talks nationally and internationally about our work.

Other initiatives include lots of people borrowing our ideas. All sorts of groups have adopted the Incredible Edible name, from near-neighbours in Rossendale to felow Yorkshire-folk like Wakefield to people all over the world who come to visit and share ideas, as you can see in our blogs.

We work in partnership with other long-standing local groups like Todmorden in Bloom, Todmorden Pride and local businesses to promote and improve Todmorden.

Calderdale Council have adopted polices borough-wide to remove obstacles stopping the use of community land for growing, and to give guidance to groups and public bodies about how it can be done.
