The Green Backyard is helping to rebuild local food economies

We believe that changing the way we produce and distribute food is fundamental to solving the world’s most pressing social and ecological problems.

About The Green Backyard

The Green Backyard is a community growing project in the heart of Peterborough. Home to Refill Revolution Peterborough and Project Abundance.

We are passionate about sustainability and work to raise awareness of environmental issues by involving the community in informative, practical demonstrations and workshops.

The benefits of buying local

Local food supports local economies. Food grown in the local community supports local jobs and encourages variety in our diets. It also requires less transportation, so it's fresher and has a smaller environmental footprint.
