Highland Community Food Growing
About Highland Community Food Growing
‘Growing our Future’ is Highland’s first community food growing strategy. It is part of the Highland Council’s approach to supporting community empowerment and it’s Health and Prosperity Strategy, achieving our net zero targets and improving the health and wellbeing of our communities.
The strategy seeks to improve the support, connectedness and access to information for growers across Highland. It will improve access to land for Community Food Growing, increase support to community groups to set up projects, and improve guidance for grow your own projects. It recognises the valuable role that Community Food Growing projects play in tackling inequalities and improving inclusion in our communities, learning from the pandemic, and in responding to the climate emergency, and seeks to build on the current momentum towards community growing and local food resilience.
