Green Future Associates & The Urban Agriculture Consortium are excited to announce that a new phase of work will start in autumn 2026.
The new ROOTED programme will promote and support the development of Landed Community Kitchens in eight countries across Europe. UAC will be co-coordinating the work in the UK in tandem with Coventry City Council, and Granville Community Kitchen and Farm (London). This will build on pilot project with Centre for Agroecology Water and Resilience (Coventry University) which introduced Landed Community Kitchens in eight grassroots settings in the north of England.
The ROOTED project is funded through the EU Horizon programme: grant #01288015
