answer text: Defra has no plans to make an assessment on potential benefits of grants to encourage community food projects. The Government recognises the importance of access to local green spaces, including allotments and the benefits of community food growing projects which enable and support healthy lifestyles within our communities. This also helps to bring about long-term improvements in people's health and wellbeing, promotes local social interaction, as well as providing wider benefits for nature and the environment. The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities leads on supporting communities across the UK to thrive, making them great places to live and work. The Government’s Food Strategy set out our plan to ensure the food system supports healthy and sustainable diets for all as well as a prosperous food sector.
