Growing Knowsley’s Future - Celebrating Our Agricultural Past

Create a better food future in Knowsley using inspiration from the past. Engaging diverse resident groups about the area’s food and farming heritage using education, participation, research and activities. Shining a spotlight on, and celebrating, the area’s distinct farming and food heritage; from 50+ years ago. This heritage is at risk of disappearing so preserving it and bringing it to life for residents of all ages will create future possibilities for an area that now lacks access to fresh produce. Our legacies will reside in the educational process, community engagement, materials created and future project work. Inspired by Knowsley’s heritage, it will be a tangible legacy helping to highlight today’s unmet nutrition, horticulture and nature connection needs, offering inspiration from the past to solve them. With new connections and common references, Knowsley will be a better place to live, with stronger communities suffused with a sense of place and heritage.
