GIY is an emerging global community of food growers. We believe food growing can make the world a healthier, happier and more sustainable place. Our big idea is that we can grow more and better food, and have more fun in the process if we come together. There are hundreds of GIY groups and over 50,000 GIYers involved in the movement. The community is supported by the GIY foundation (reg charity CHY 18920) which runs events and programmes to build awareness and knowledge about growing food.
