  By increasing numbers of wheelchair accessible allotment plots and improve information about local jobs in growing.

  By improving access to Bristol City Council-owned growing land once mapped.  

• Appropriate training on agro-ecological growing techniques is accessible to community and commercial growers citywide, as well as support for existing producers to maintain or grow their operations.
  By offering more training that is better advertised.  

• Increased and effective routes to market are available for a more resilient and shorter regional food supply chain.
  By Bristol City Council trialling a dynamic procurement system.
  

• Food production at all levels is led by agro-ecological techniques.
