Goals

Plant and produce swaps have become popular events bringing together enthusiastic gardeners and home chefs to share their harvest. Participants can swap their excess fruits, vegetables, herbs or potted plants. From heirloom tomatoes to fragrant herbs, the offerings are as diverse as the wider community. Plant and produce swaps support sustainability by reducing food waste and encouraging diverse plant varieties. The swaps provide access to fresh, locally grown produce. Through these events participants can expand their gardening knowledge, learn about different plant species and exchange tips and techniques with fellow gardeners.

By aligning with these SDG targets, plant and produce swaps foster sustainable agriculture, promote healthy eating habits, reduce food waste, encourage community engagement and contribute to the overall goal of sustainable development.
