Learning Outcomes

  • How health and wellbeing is supported by local community food growing, training, cooking sessions, outdoor activities and supply of accessible produce
  • Meeting volunteers and the importance of lived experience for understanding community needs
  • Working within organisation capacity and developing collaborative, cohesive relationships within the community and other 3rd sector partners.

“Community food growing in Dundee is miles ahead of what the NE has experienced with the application of council local food policy initiatives and council driven infrastructure.”
