Grow Forth is a new network to bring together groups across the Forth Valley that are interested in local food. The goal of Grow Forth is to create a community of communities that will enable people to share with and learn from one another on a wide range of food-related issues. The Grow Forth Network grew out the local food summit held in February 2012, on behalf of Low Carbon Stirling. 200 people interested in local sustainable food attended.
Help us to map community growing & community food initiatives help us build an understanding of what we collectively need in order to get more people growing, buying, cooking and eating local food. To help please fill out this quick survey click here
