Have you seen this yet…. The Ideas Campaign ?
The co-founder of the Sunday Business Post, Aileen O’Toole is behind this initiative which aims to harness the minds of the country.
The blurb goes: “the Ideas Campaign is an independent initiative by citizens for citizens, designed to capture people’s ideas for stimulating Ireland ’s economy.”
“This grassroots campaign is about the positive aspects of economic activity that often receive little media attention, and the need to focus on solutions instead of the problems,” she says. “It is about setting a challenge to people to be innovative and creative.”
The Ideas Campaign.
So basically the Ideas Campaign is about asking people for ideas to stimulate economic activity, and one of those sections is “Agriculture and Food”
Some of the ideas submitted so far relating to allotments and fruit/vegetable growing include……..
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
1. My policy idea is to introduce small half acre ‘plots’ for the general population to produce their own produce - after all we are in a monetary “wartime” situation.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
2. Every town in the country should start a community garden whereby a piece of land is given by the county council to a community group who will develop the land and grow fruit and veg and subsequently have a low cost weekly market.
There is a lot of land lying idle at the moment which, if worked, could yield good food. We would be a happier nation out working in the garden in tune with one another and with nature. A community cafe could be built on the land - a simple ‘Seomra House’ where everyone could congregate for soup and eat produce from the community.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
These are not my ideas I swear , but those of others that are interested.
Although some of the ideas are a bit “happy-clappy”, I’m sure there is a basis for something substantial there.
Have a look at the site and see what you think yourself.
