Food for thought

Aberdeen has launched a strategy which will include practical ways to encourage people to grow food in their community. The plan, called Granite City Growing: Aberdeen Growing Food Together 2020, will run until 2026. The strategy is aimed at encouraging people to grow their own food, whether in their own garden, a community space, or an allotment. It will examine new community growing places and the number of known community food-growing spaces, to ensure a vibrant local food-based economy. www.aberdeencity.gov.uk
