Opportunities for growing more food in London

• Planting more fruit and nut trees in parks and along routeways
• Planting beds of edibles instead of traditional ornamental plants in bedding in parks
• Grow more food in under-utilised spaces, setting up community gardens in parks, derelict council facilities, social housing land and unused private gardens.
• Alternative food production such as mushroom growing, bee-keeping and planting edibles on roofs and window boxes.
• Re-establish food growing as a major land-use on the green belt/urban fringe.
