TwitterComplete the Community Food Growing Survey
We have teamed up with Fruit Works Co-op to develop the Leeds Food Growing Network (LFGN). This is a citywide initiative to connect the many people and places involved in community growing food across Leeds and to amplfy their voices. While growers often focus on their own patch, there’s huge value in sharing knowledge, spotting gaps, and celebrating what’s working well.
To kick things off, we’re running a Community Food Growing Survey.
This survey will help us build a better understanding of the community food growing scene across Leeds. The project is funded by Y-PIP’s Communities Innovating Yorkshire Fund (CIYF), which backs place-based projects around inclusive economy, creativity, and climate action. More about the LFGN and this initiative here.
This survey is designed to be completed by anyone growing food with others in a community space within the Leeds City Council boundary. It is not intended for private home gardens and allotments.
As a thank you, everyone will be entered in a prize draw for a chance to win a £50 voucher from Beardsworths who are a large, local wholesale nursery growing hardy trees, shrubs, perennials and hedging, conveniently located by Junction 26 of the M62.
We’ve tested this survey and it takes less than 10 minutes.
The deadline for submission is Sunday 18 January 2026 (midnight).
