Acorn Farm – I Can Grow
/The Acorn Farm, I can Grow project is calling for families in Derry/Londonderry and Strabane to roll up their sleeves and get planting. No experience needed! The programme supports families to grow their own fruit and vegetables. Families are given everything they need to grow food at home, learning from horticultural experts to begin the creation of a more sustainable food system throughout the city.
The project aims to:
Build a new iconic urban farm at St Columb’s Park in Derry~Londonderry as a demonstration hub for growing food, recreation, education and learning
Train local people how to grow food at home
Improve awareness of the connection between climate change and food choice
Activate a local movement of food growers
Conduct and produce research of the impact of our local food systems on climate and health
Influence local food policy in relation to climate change and health
