Cycle of the Seed

We are all aware that food security is a big issue in the UK and we all need to act, but sometimes we do not really know how or where to start.  We will support your community to run a fun and inclusive programme that aims to increase local food growing whilst opening discussions around food security and how we can improve it.

The Cycle of the Seed pillar aims to get your community growing more of your own food and become more aware of the many benefits of food growing, including bolstering food security, improving soil health, encouraging biodiversity, enhancing health and wellbeing, building stronger communities, and helping to reconnect us with the natural world around us.

Garden Organic believe that everyone can grow their own food organically. Our experts support all members of the community to adopt simple organic gardening principles and practices whether you are growing on a balcony, in a garden, or on an allotment we here to help.

Food security is a significant issue that local growing has the potential to address. Across the UK approximately 5.4m UK residents considered themselves as food insecure in 2020. Understanding how to grow our own food, free from chemicals, can help to alleviate food insecurity and give communities access to locally grown, fresh, nutritious, organic fruit and veg.

Food growing is a fantastic way to bring communities together and a great focal point for social gatherings, celebrating diverse cultures through food festivals, community picnics and farmers’ markets. Put simply, most of us love food, and sharing it with others is even better.
