BiÓbuda and Biointensive Group

   We have started (second occasion) going along on Saturdays to the new BiÓbuda organic Farmers Market. This makes our weekends a bit more complicated, but hopefully strengthen the purchase of fresh, organic produce in Budapest. It is encouraging to be part of a new initiative.

Another initiative we are part of is the Agroökológia Hálózat Biointensive Growers csoport. (agroecological network's biointensive growers group).  This is a ground-up initiative by small organic/agroecological (mostly) vegetable growers in Hungary.  We meet a few times a year - mostly, meeting on each others farms/gardens, to share experience, compare techniques, and generally develop the agroecological growers community. Being part of a wider community of individuals and groups dedicated to changing our food system is a way to keep our batteries charged, and keep striving to grow healthy produce whilst protecting Nature.  We will give a report on the meeting in next week's newsletter.
