Question · Action Scorecards 2025
Criteria met if the council has proactively created more space for local food growing through providing funding, land, staff or other resources to support:
- community garden or orchards
- schools to have growing spaces
- community or city farms or gardens, including edible fruit/veg/herbs patches in public spaces such as parks, rooftops or grass verges.
Allotment space is not included in this question as it is a statutory requirement for councils to provide allotments.
Note: “in 2023” counts show how the councils listed below were marked on this question in 2023. This list of councils may be slightly different to the list of councils originally assessed on this question in 2023, due to the creation and abolition of councils between Scorecard years.
