Food & Growing

FEL is seeding healthier, more sustainable futures by helping people grow their own food and make tasty, nutritious meals with it. Through buddying, mentoring, networking, and peer learning, we help community leaders and volunteers share food knowledge and get more produce growing locally.

Food partnerships are at the heart of the systemic change we’re working to make. They celebrate fantastic local produce while tackling inequalities in affordability and access. Stirling Food Partnership, Clacks Good Food, and Falkirk Food Futures are leading the way, sharing skills and building capacity through community kitchens, skills training, and shared growing spaces.

FEL’s network effects are at their strongest in connecting the efforts of policymakers, businesses, and civic society to build healthier, sustainable, and more equitable food systems.
