The ‘Food in the City’ project based at City University, Islington, plans to grow food on a derelict site in the centre of London by Summer 2010.

Laura Husband and Charlotte King speak to one of the project’s organisers, Imogen Riley to find out how it’s going to work.

But will it be safe to eat fruit and vegetables grown in a polluted city?

Professor of environmental pollution, Nigel Bell from Imperial College London gives his expert opinion on how pollution will affect the food and whether he’d personally choose to eat it.
