The Ministry of Food, a major new exhibition examining how the British public adapted to a world of food shortages, is open now at Imperial War Museum London.
Marking the seventieth anniversary of the introduction of food rationing in Britain, the exhibition shows how growing your own food, eating seasonal fruit and vegetables, reducing imports, recycling, and healthy nutrition were just as important in 1940 as they are today.
Visitors can explore a wartime greenhouse, a 1940s grocer’s shop, and a typical kitchen complete with larder, gas cooker, and an ample stock of economy recipe books. Listen to advice on gardening and learn why the number of allotment holders more than doubled during the war years.
Discover how 'Lending a Hand on the Land', 'Digging for Victory', taking up the 'War on Waste', and being both frugal and inventive on the ‘Kitchen Front' helped to get Britain through the dark days of the Second World War.
