Since 2017, SF Innovations has worked to promote technologies and products which protect the environment and build resilience to climate change. These range from the use of Haybox Thermal Cookers to reduce the use of fossil fuels during cooking to harnessing Solar Power, with small off-grid systems and jam jar led lights.
Dale Vince is probably the UK’s best known campaigner for a vegan diet. He argues that this is better for the environment, better for human health and for wildlife.
As well as being the founder of Ecotricity, he is the owner of Forest Green Rovers, the worlds only vegan football club.

PROJECTS
In 2018 we launched a project with the EMACE Foundation of Sri Lanka to manufacture and supply 50 each of Solar and Haybox Cookers to low income families. SF provided all the funding while EMACE organised the manufacture of the cookers locally, identified suitable recipients and provided training and literature. In 2019 we went out to work with local charities.
WORKSHOPS
Over the last 7 years we have used talks and workshops to promote various energy saving technologies. Some of these have been in association with the Environment Centre at St. Nicks, York and others at various festivals - Green Gathering, Radical Bakers and Festival of Thrift to name a few. During the lockdown years, we used Zoom workshops to reach hundreds of attendees around the UK as well as worldwide.
