The Veg Cities site will close permanently on 1 January 2025.

Veg Cities is changing but our commitment to healthy food and more veg is not. We started Good Food Local, a new initiative to help local authorities prioritise good food and commit to action on a breadth of food issues including healthy food environments. Join the movement

The Veg Cities team

 

Run growing and cooking classes and training

Education

Run growing and cooking classes and training for veg-centred meals.

Growing your own is one way to increase the amount of veg we eat. By providing growing sessions and support, community gardens can engage even more volunteers and become more productive.

Lack of time to prepare food and lack of skills and confidence in the kitchen can all get in the way of eating veg. Many local food partnerships and community groups are already supporting the development of cooking skills, but cooking vegetables so that they make delicious meals can be a challenge even for experienced cooks.

We hope Veg Cities will make the development of veg cooking skills a specific aspect in existing and new cooking programmes, either for the community or specifically for the catering and hospitality industries.

Please join Veg Cities to access all the downloads for this action.

Veg Cities is working with education across the UK to help people grow, cook, sell, serve and save more vegetables.
