Making the case for a Market Garden Support Fund

Agroecological and organic market gardens deliver far more than fruit and vegetables. They also benefit the environment, public health, education and community resilience, while attracting a generation of committed new entrants and strengthening long term food security.

In this booklet we aim to demonstrate these benefits and make the case for a Market Garden Support Fund, specifically targeted towards enabling this valuable sector to thrive.

The UK Fruit and Vegetable Coalition is a newly formed alliance between the organisations representing organic, agroecological growers across the four nations of the UK.

We are working together to create a future in which more fruit and vegetables are produced in the UK.
A future where we reduce our reliance on imports and where agroecological growing becomes a rewarding, valued and accessible career path for many more people. A future where everyone can eat and enjoy healthy food that is produced without wrecking the environment and climate and our whole planet thrives.
