17. Outcomes … Over 100 events last year. Over 40 growing spaces took part. 15 food producers participated. 1231 tweets were tagged #urbanfoodfortnight Growing Kultur is a 6 x 1 metre patch in “Being involved in Urban Food Fortnight helped focus our growing efforts and think creatively about how we might make best use of what was a small growing space yet still achieve some of our objectives.” says Alexandra Charlemagne, Growing Kultur’s founder.

18. Challenges… Unsustainable businesses trying to sign up. Excluding some great trading relationships because they are not in London. Getting groups to commit and giving them confidence. Promotion of events – some were less popular than others.

19. Replication Can be replicated at any scale. Support offered can be tailored to match resources available. Could be done at a different time of year though September is ideal. Could link across many cities.
