Building Short Supply Chains for British Flowers

Our unique session is for those interested in improving sustainable practice and farmers considering the benefits of growing flowers commercially or renting land to flowers growers. How can British flower growers and florists build stronger, shorter supply chains to meet rising demand for seasonal, sustainable blooms? We share key findings from a DEFRA Farming Innovation Project led by the Flower Grower Collective. This piloted physical regional hubs to distribute seasonal British flowers using the Open Food Network.
