The coronavirus lockdown forced many people to think about where they could access and purchase food like never before, as some items on supermarket shelves became scarce and supply chains were disrupted.

And where better to look than close to home. Some people increasingly depended on their own allotments for many staples as they preferred not to go far from home. Elsewhere, community groups came together to provide local food and other produce for those in need.

We would like to hear from local food growing initiatives about the work they have been doing and how they supplied their communities during the lockdown.
