GIY
GIY is an emerging global community of food growers - we believe that by growing some of our own food we make the world a healthier, happier place. By coming together we grow more and better food, and have more fun in the process. The GIY movement is made up of GIYers and community food-growing groups. There are over 50,000 GIYers and over 800 food growing projects 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.
