I would be delighted to hear from colleagues of any published information on community activists / champions of sustainability projects linked to food and place in rural Western Europe. I am currently working up some material on the urban fringe and the interface between urban and rural places. Much of the material I have found so far tends to be about urban regeneration and community rebuilding and the role of individuals championing particular city-based causes. thanks for any help Richard Spalding School of Geography and Environmental Management UWE-Bristol UK
