Are you part of a community food and growing hub who wants to scale up to selling what you grow? Or do you want to know how to generate diversified income streams using the space you have access to? Yvonne will share her experiences gained over four decades of working with individuals, groups and organisations across the UK, the English-speaking Caribbean, Asia, South Africa and mainland Europe to help them to create sustainable and entrepreneurial community assets, (people, leadership and spaces), most recently at Wolves Lane community food and growing hub.
