We request recognition of 'weaving' through the BWL approach as one that is recognized in supporting stakeholder engagement across Waterford. The request is for additional capacity to support this approach to system change, in order to support engagement with all involved in agriculture and other nature based solutions in the Waterford area.

GIY recommend a targeted strategy for ‘Growing Waterford’ that facilitates food growing programmes across households, schools, communities & workplaces. This could include the provision of products – such as seeds/growing kits – as well as food growing and food system education programmes tailored to each societal cohort. Programme evaluation would involve pre- and post- evaluation where participants are invited to report on changes to knowledge, behaviours and attitudes that result from participation in food growing activity in short, medium and longer term timeframes.
Targets by year by sector (housing, agri, energy, transport), by quarter.
