Set up or expand a network of food growing spaces.

If you are focusing on supporting more food growing in your city, we hope a city-wide campaign like Veg Cities can galvanise activity and embed growing into local strategies and help you to expand the number of growing spaces, set up or expand a network of growing spaces and ultimately increase the amount of locally grown and traded vegetables. So let’s get growing more!
