Community Food

Working in partnership with NatureFix, we are looking into local food in Renfrewshire - what producers and distribution systems exist, and how resilient they are. Lucy Cunningham at NatureFix brings twenty years’ experience in working with climate related projects. In this time she engaged hundreds of people in conservation and community growing projects.

Together with NatureFix, we want to see a Renfrewshire where high quality, nutrient rich sustainable food is available to all, through a resilient food system which is fair to producers and consumers and healthy for people and planet. To this end, we are keen to bring growers together and work out what's needed for our area.

A further helpful resource where you can find out what's going on community food-wise in Renfrewshire is This is the Wellbeing in Renfrewshire (WiRe) map, created by the Health and Social Care Partnership to allow anyone in Renfrewshire to find a healthy activity they'd like to join in with. We've worked closely with them to ensure it contains lots of information on climate - related activities, whether you'd like to join a community garden, volunteer at a food bank, or plant some trees - there will be something here to help you get active in fighting the climate crisis. It can be hard to feel like you're making a difference - this resource gives you the tool you need to find your thing and get out there. And, if you need any more info on how you can fight the climate crisis, contact RenCAN for further information.
