Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options
Representation ID: 59062
Received: 13/12/2021
Respondent: Cambridge Sustainable Food CIC
We need resilient food systems that are fit for a changing climate. We support regenerative and agro ecological farming and we prioritise local, seasonal food that is good for the planet. Our local plan should reflect this need through,
• designating space for small scale vegetable and fruit growing, either as a tenanted farmer, community supported agriculture or on the model of CoFarm
• provision of allotments, a community garden and orchard
• A market place and encouragement for local growers to have an outlet for their produce in order to support access to local fresh produce
