This report will show how councils can take forward food growing in parks, using public assets to address local priorities. The guide not only shows councils the many benefits of using parks for food growing, but it shows the different options for working with their local communities to manage these sites.

The guide will help:

• Councillors with responsibilities for budgets, the public realm and for public health;
• Council park managers, providing confidence that food growing can be successfully integrated into parks;
• Friends of Parks groups, social enterprises and community groups who can learn from experiences of projects across the UK
