Food
co-op
In
2006, RCMA helped establish a food co-op in the Riverside area.
As well as providing low cost fresh produce, the Coop helps create
strong social links between the diverse communities of Riverside.
RCMA
has received funding from the Assembly to prepare a business plan
for the RCMA Market Garden which will be set up on 5 acres of land
near Cardiff with the aim of contributing to the supply of locally
grown organic produce
