At UrbanGrown, we hold these truths to be self-evident:

• Everyone needs good, healthy, food to live, thrive and survive.
• Britain cannot feed itself using current farming methods without importing food.
• As the price of oil increases, food imports increase in price. Many “everyday” foods will become too expensive for regular consumption.
• Food in Britain travels long distances for storage, processing and distribution.
• As oil availability decreases, it will be difficult to transport food long distances. Supplies will regularly be disrupted.
• Britain can feed itself, with good, healthy, food using the best small-scale growing methods.
• Irrespective of wealth, race or religion, everyone will need access to land on which they can grow, or help to grow, food for themselves, their family and their community.
• Growing food will be more labour intensive than it is at the moment.
• More people will have a close connection with the origin of their food. 
• It is YOUR responsibility to make sure that you, your family, and community have enough food to eat.

This is a work in progress - fire away with suggestions.
