Belfast: Alleyways could be used to grow crops

The women have been working with Laurelbank Farm, an organic farm outside Saintfield in County Down.

As a result, their manifesto – which was commissioned as part of the Belfast 2024 project and received funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund – said that Belfast’s alleyways “could yield significant crops”.

They estimated that the alleyways could be used to grow around 1.4 million carrots; one million beetroots; 600,000 bunches of parsley, 350,000 garlic bulbs, 250,000 turnips or 110,000 cabbages.

The Manifesto for the Alleys has been welcomed by the Lord Mayor of Belfast, Alliance councillor Micky Murray.
