- Unless otherwise stated, information on which this section is based is derived from open-ended interviews with the individuals concerned.
- this was a diverse inner city community group comprising many local residents from different walks of life.
- This is a community food cooperative in Enmore stocking organic and unpacked food and grocery items.
- the ORID (Objective, Reflective, Interpretive, Decisional) process provides a framework for discussions concerning issues of conflict. An overview of this technique is provided in figures 4.2 and 4.3. The gardeners’ engagement with this process is discussed further in the following chapter.
- A member of the group spotted an unused area of land at the rear of the community centre site and contacted the community centre coordinator at a time when the coordinator was deliberating the fate of that land.
- One of the project’s initiators visited the UNSW Permaculture Community Garden when ACFCGN was holding a meeting in the garden.
- food related poverty refers to the inability of an individual to meet their nutritional requirements through their diet, as a result of factors such as income, health and mobility.
- As with the previous section, information here was gathered from interviews with the individuals concerned, unless stated otherwise.
- this was a thesis by Darren Phillips at ANU.
- ACFCGN provides advice and examples to regulatory bodies regarding how other bodies have engaged with community gardens, so that the regulatory body can understand the processes, benefits and options involved.
- That is, the coordinators aim to educate gardeners to the level where the gardeners no longer rely on the knowledge of the coordinators.
- As such, most phone inquiries are directed to the network via PSA, as this group is listed in the telephone directory, while ACFCGN is not. Permaculture Sydney’s newsletter, the Web, has granted a few pages of each edition to news concerning ACFCGN, and all permaculture teachers within Sydney utilise the community gardens as teaching sites. Many magazine and television articles have documented the gardens after having established contact through PSA.

- Campbell (1998, p3) documents these goals:
1. Identify how council may best support establishment and operation of productive community food gardens, in keeping with council’s food policy objectives.
2. Identify how community gardens may make a significant and meaningful contribution to food security objectives inherent within this policy.
3. Emphasise solutions appropriate to populations identified to be at greatest risk of food related poverty.
4. Identify opportunities for contribution to Council’s waste management objectives through productive community food gardens.
Essentially the goal is to persuade Council that community food gardens can make a valuable contribution to the realisation of stated Council objectives, and in so doing justify the allocation of Council resources to their development.
