Bristol Food Producers

Bristol Food Producers aims to support the scaling up of the local food system in Bristol. One of the way we are doing this is through land matching in and around Bristol. Our Land Seekers Survey (bit.ly/lookingforland) keeps a rolling record of those looking for land whilst we work with public and private landowners to map land or set up processes for tenancies of land partnerships. We also work with the Fresh Start Land Enterprise Centre, Groundspring, Growing Livelihoods, Funding Enlightened Agriculture and a number of training providers and land trusts to make use of the information we gather.
