Our vision is for a large scale urban food growing project which is nature rich,
and which will benefit primarily the communities that live in the local area but
also the wider city into the future. We aim to address some of the issues around
access to local, affordable fresh produce, environmental degradation and lack of
opportunities for people in cities to gain experience in food production
resulting in a greater understanding of the wider food system. This land and
proposed project has the potential to deliver many benefits including increased
access to affordable locally grown food, increased biodiversity and enrichment
of local wildlife habitats, carbon capture, multiple avenues for training and
education around food growing and biodiversity and for celebration and coming
together through community activities and events.
