Seasonal Networking Event: City Food Plan Network and Development Day

Glasgow Community Food Network would like to invite community members involved with food and growing activities in the city - such as community gardens, food education and food aid - to feed into the Community Food Working Group as part of the Glasgow City Food Plan.

This will also be a chance for local Market Gardeners (new, established or aspiring) to participate with, discuss and co-develop the Urban Agriculture Working Group for the City Plan.

The Glasgow City Food plan was developed by over 80 cross-sector organisations to carry forward actions for a holistic approach to changing Glasgow’s Food System. Learn more about the City Plan Working Groups in the link here.

We will also be providing a free lunch by local social enterprise MILK Catering on the day with the opportunity for people to meet, chat and share what they do across Glasgow!
