growing and selling more local food

It says: “Preference will be given to initiatives that are visible to the community, engage local people, and highlight the need for urgent action on climate change. It will be important to demonstrate practical ways in which change can be achieved by local communities for both economic and environmental benefit.
“The grants of up to £5,000 could provide up to 100 per cent of project costs, and can be for capital, revenue and core expenditure.”
A list of who is eligible includes schools, youth groups, community councils, sports and activity groups, small local businesses, young people’s initiatives, faith groups, environmental groups and groups of “people with a great idea and entrepreneurial drive”.
