Food growing schemes encompass a range of projects, growing for retail, schools growing projects, growing on allotments, training and therapy projects, and community gardens and orchards. There are various reasons why growing projects are developed and they are often part of a wider community project. They can provide cheap, fresh, local, home-grown food, as well as training and skills building, companionship, therapy and other benefits.
