Planning the layout of your city is enormously important, and food has a vital role to play in how we design the areas we live in.
Certain key areas can decide whether a city is a sustainable oasis or unhealthy concrete jungle. The importance can be highlighted in the following areas;
Neighbourhood design - Well designed places ensure residents have access to facilities and services for their everyday needs.
Community food growing - planning policies can support urban food growing.
Healthy high streets - set policies which can support healthy food retail in your community
Public Realm - think of things like free drinking water for all, edible landscapes and what you can advertise.
Design of homes - don't take for granted kitchen and dining areas in your homes
