What is a Community Food Project?

Community Food Projects are not-for-profit organisations (or for profit organisations with social aims) or individuals working at the local level to improve access to safe, sustainable and healthy food for their communities, particularly in areas of disadvantage. They might include, for example:

• Food co-operatives and buying groups
• Food growing projects (allotments, orchards)
• Community cafes
• Community shops
• Cookery clubs and healthy eating classes
• Land and Garden Share Schemes 
• Lunch clubs and community meal services
