Pop-up city farm aims to tackle food poverty crisis
Hull Council pledged £30,000 to a new community garden yesterday, underlining a rising use of urban farming by communities to tackle starvation caused by the coalition government.
Pop-up grassroots farms turning derelict areas of Hull into sources of fruit and veg for those in need could soon become a reality.
Rooted in Hull co-founder Mark Cleaver explained that while some working-class areas have plenty of fast-food joints and supermarkets they lack access to fresh fruit and veg.
