Incredible Edible

[1][2] The project aims to bring people together through actions around local food and community allotments, helping to change behaviour towards the environment and to build a kinder and more resilient world.

[5] The group meets regularly at Todmorden Unitarian Church and manages plantings and other food producing projects throughout the town.

The Incredible Edible model, developed in Todmorden, revolves around the metaphor of three “spinning plates.” The first, community, refers to growing food on public spaces that anyone is allowed to take from.

It strives to engage with schools, local farmers, and businesses by sharing knowledge and passion for food growing and cooking.

Additionally, group members have invested the equivalent of 14.5 years total of their time to give back to communities in the UK.

A total of 207 events have featured the Incredible Edible, and the organization currently collaborates with 11 other groups, including councils and nonprofits, to enhance their work.

[7] More recently, the Incredible Edible received a £500,000 grant from the Big Lottery Fund and a donation of land from Calderdale Council.
