What is the definition of a new food growing space?
This project is looking to support spaces that are being used to grow food for the first time (in at least five years) and for a community, rather than an individual. We would like to support spaces of all different sizes, including (but not limited to) roof gardens, land around housing estates, underused verges, utility land or disused plant nurseries. This is why, as part of our campaign for 2,012 new growing spaces, we are opening this to virtually anything, as long as its producing food. The notable exception is we are not including people turning their own gardens over to food production. As much as we support this, we recommend you contact Food Up Front if you are looking for help of this kind. We are, however, keen to support in some way those people who are approaching other people to put their gardens into use, and have been working with the Landshare team to help facilitate Londoners to do this.
This project is looking to support spaces that are being used to grow food for the first time, since 1st January, 2009 or, if it has been used for this purpose before this date it should be expanded.
