Our global food system is broken

• Food prices are set to double - Oxfam
• Climate change is causing more severe heatwaves, droughts and floods, effecting yields - UN Climate Chief
• 80 per cent of global trade in food is now controlled by just five multinational corporations - Carolyn Steel @ TED
• Soil erosion is painting a bleak picture for the future - Guardian
• One billion of us are obese - World Health Organisation
• Nearly one billion people worldwide go hungry every day - Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN

Don't you think something needs to change?

Growington is on a mission to map where people are growing food — to connect these people like never before, and to support self-organised, self-sustaining food networks, thus reducing the need for multinational corporations to feed us s*** food with thousands of foodmiles.

We're just at the beginning, and our first step is to map what you - the home grower or urban farmer are growing.

Add your vegetable patch now and join the revolution.
