“On average, people spend 20% of their income on food and the global food market is the domain of a few large companies, gaining increasing control over people’s everyday diets and expenses.” This project sets out to highlight the potential value in Sheffield’s Sheaf Valley. The proposal is for a hub that becomes a pivotal point within the community, for the sharing of knowledge and resources, creating a community that is less dependent on imported produce. It forms part of the Sheaf Urban Growing Network, a wider network of green spaces, providing space to grow food to feed the city.
