Over the last few years I have been following the 15ThousandFarmers in the US. A wonderful initiative to get residents to grow their own food in the front, back or community gardens and then meet up to share ideas, produce and friendship.
Another wonderful idea that would fit well into the Transition movement. Will be sending out an email to the group to see if this might be something for West Bridgford to embark on.
Looking at their interesting website, I came across a series of video's which might be of interest to you
