: Dig for Victory
Petition wording:
We call on the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh
Government to introduce via local Councils a modern day Dig for
Victory campaign.
With food prices continually rising and times of a recession, there
is a need once more to grow your own food, just like during ww2
when they introduced a Dig for Victory campaign to make sure
everyone was fed. If the Welsh Government introduced this via
their local councils by giving householders vouchers or seeds,
compost, even chicken arks and chickens (where suitable) then
people would be a little better off financially and also
healthier. It would also cut down on the amount of food we
import thus cutting down on our carbon footprint. Most people
have a garden and people without one can still grow some veg on
patios and balconies. So come on lets Dig for
Victory.
