    Presentation, Widespread adoption of biointensive kitchen gardening techniques coupled with the extensive planting of food forests in private gardens could substantially improve the UK’s self sufficiency in food production whilst reducing fertilizer, pesticide usage and GHG emissions. All fruit, vegetables and potatoes could be garden produced. Wildlife would benefit through increased habitat availability throughout urban areas and potentially more habitat available in the countryside. To maximise benefits however people would need to change their behaviour and begin enjoying indigenous in-season produce rather than pre-packaged air-freighted produce. They would also need to actively participate in land-share schemes to match gardeners with land.
