This week's Website of the Week is Grow Sheffield (www.growsheffield.com) - an active network of individuals and groups promoting urban organic food growing.

If you would like to nominate a regional or local site with an environmental flavour please contact info@yhref.org.uk.

Grow Sheffield;

• stimulates and inspires individuals and communities to grow food by providing education, information, access to training and resources, visits, social and networking events, skills and information sharing opportunities.
• promotes all the beneficial aspects of local organic food growing – through the arts, in food cultures, community building, physical and mental health and well-being, local enterprise and economy and the environment.
• raises awareness of wider issues of sustainability, reducing food miles, oil dependency and ecological and carbon footprints and increasing biodiversity.
• encourages increased access to and use of land to provide local fresh and healthy food by influencing decision makers to change policy.
• exchanges good practice on organic food growing and community engagement throughout the UK with established and embryo organisations.

Grow Sheffield works collaboratively and in partnership with a number of organisations including: Transition Sheffield, Heeley City Farm, Sharrow Partnership, and Sharrow Community Forum, Sharrow Encounters, Access Space, Sheffield City Council, Sharrow School and Showroom Cinema.
