Newham Food Growers Network - NFGN

Working on the fresh air, in a green space, together with neighbours-become-friends, to grow fresh, healthy food - if this sounds like your way of living, then continue reading:

The Newham Food Growers Network is a community initiative that supports local food growing projects, encouraging collaboration among community gardens, schools, and individuals interested in growing food. It aims to promote food sovereignty and sustainability.

Whether you are a school, a housing estate, a neighbourhood group or gardening club, community gardens or Friends group, or an individual interested in sustainable food practices, this is for you!

We aim to empower local communities to grow their own food, enhancing self-sufficiency and promoting Food Sovereignty. While we support encourage permaculture by encouraging environmentally friendly practices in food production and consumption. We offer educational opportunities on food growing techniques and sustainability and the exchange of tools, seeds, and knowledge among members.
