大象传媒 Food & Farming Awards finalist: Regather

Charlotte Smith and Lucy Speed are judging the 'Farming for the Future' category of the 大象传媒 Food and Farming Awards. In this programme, they visit the first of three finalists.

Regather is a food co-operative with a big mission. They want to "reshape the food landscape of Sheffield". What does that mean? It means building strong, local food supply chains that link the people of Sheffield with food that is produced sustainably and close by.

The group runs a fruit and veg box scheme which funds its other projects - including community gardening sessions and campaigning. They also have a 15 acre market garden just outside the city where they produce fruit, vegetables and cut flowers for their boxes.

Regather has been picked as a finalist in the "Farming for the Future" category of this year's 大象传媒 Food and Farming Awards. It's being judged by Farming Today presenter, Charlotte Smith, and actor, Lucy Speed - who plays Stella in The Archers. In this programme, they visit Regather, and try to grasp the size and scale of the mission.
