Rootz into Food Growing

The project will focus in identifying, understanding, planning and implementing a series of interventions which subsequently reduce barriers to entry into the social enterprise growing system and begin to identify appropriate land for commercial food growing purposes. It will promote food justice by identifying and training a new generation of Black and Minoritised commercial growers who are empowered to develop their own food growing systems and enterprises; grow local and indigenous food (which can be grown in the UK) which is often imported and sold at inflated prices; encourage younger adults from Black and Minoritised communities to create social enterprises, thereby creating livelihoods.
