Vision
Our vision for the Smiddy Field is:
To create a green hub that will improve health and wellbeing and community cohesion by encouraging people in our community to spend more time outdoors, and grow and enjoy local produce.
We will:
-
Increase levels of food growing in the local community to build self-reliance and self-sufficiency and improve access to fresh, affordable, healthy, locally-produced food
-
Help people live healthy, connected lives by growing, learning, connecting with other members of the community and spending time outdoors.
-
Increase the biodiversity, landscape and amenity value of the South Inverness area by providing protected habitat areas, promoting carbon literacy and creating a protected green space on the city’s edge.
-
Help to build a resilient and sustainable local economy by improving access to horticultural training, increasing skill levels in the community, preserving traditional skills and providing a platform for new ideas.
