Community Food Growing Award

About the award

Judges are looking for food growing projects that have increased the number of people who are able to access locally grown food. They are particularly keen to hear about projects that have helped communities to become more sustainable and resilient.

Nominations could include:

Projects that supply fresh produce to local foodbanks or community kitchens.
Community orchards where residents are encouraged to ‘pick their own’ to boost their health and wellbeing.
The creation of new community food growing gardens.
Initiatives that teach people how to look after and harvest their own fruit and vegetables.

Required information

This category is open to anybody.

For the Community Food Growing Award, judges will be looking for the following information:

What type and quantity food has been grown? An estimation of the quantity is fine.
Where does that food go? How is it used and distributed in the community?
How many people and organisations have been involved?
What difference has the food growing activities made to the community and recipients?
How have the activities helped others to grow their own food?
How has the nominee ensured that the food has been grown sustainably? For example, reducing use of chemicals, encouraging beneficial insects.

Your application should include video and / or photographic evidence.
