This week Adam will be eating and looking at permaculture!
Meal Plan Week Commencing: 21 April 2014
Adam is a 23 year old professional boxer from the Sheffiled with15 fights and15 wins current ibf youth champion and Ambassador for @WPCancerCharity. PJ taste are supporting Adam with supply of our creative and locally sourced food. These delicious and nutritious meals will help Adam as he trains for his next challenge at Ponds Forge on the 26th April. In this run up week to his next fight the portion sizes are somewhat reduced.
Let us know if you would like to follow Adam’s progress, see how the meal plan helps him reach his fitness objectives or even if you would like to buy into this nutritious and convenient way of dining.
Each week we will add some nutrition related facts relating to the benefit of local, fresh and wholesome food. With the Easter weekend expected to see a surge in visits to our garden centres why not consider a permaculture style approach to your planning and purchases. Permaculture is well defined by Ken and Addy Fern who set up a charitable company, plants for a future, to research and grow edible and useful plants. As they say on their web site (www.pfaf.org):
Plants for a future’s plant of the week
“There are over 20,000 species of edible plants in the world yet fewer than 20 species now provide 90% of our food. However, there are hundreds of less well-known edible plants from all around the world that are both delicious and nutritious. It is our belief that plants can provide people with the majority of their needs, in a way that cares for the planet’s health. A wide range of plants can be grown to produce all our food needs and many other commodities, whilst also providing a diversity of habitats for our native flora and fauna.”
For advice on growing some of the lesser known and unusual edible plants, with an emphasis on perennials see their web site or buy the excellent book Plants For A Future: Edible & Useful Plants For A Healthier World (Ken Ferns Original Book)
