Feeding Liverpool, Liverpool Food Growers Network, Compost Works, Feedback and other local groups are coming together to support Incredible Edible’s national Right to Grow Campaign.
A Right to Grow would build upon Liverpool’s achievement of a Bronze Sustainable Cities Award and involve:
- Maintaining a free, accessible map of all public land that is suitable for community cultivation or wildlife projects.
- Removing red tape and financial barriers to make it straight-forward for community groups to secure free leases to cultivate the land.
- Allow those groups to bid for the land should the local authority decide to sell it.
In mid-June, the campaign in Liverpool will be holding a week of action, including public meetings, talks and planting events to raise awareness for a public Right to Grow. Keep an eye on the Feeding Liverpool website and social media for more details.
