Resources
This is a gold mine for you; we have included all of the references that we have referred to in the toolkit, both in the Checklist chapters and in the Grown in Totnes (GinT) case study. Some of these are sourced externally, many of the ones cited in the GinT case study we created during the course of the project and have made them available for you to adapt and amend to your needs. We hope that you will take the time to add other resources that you find useful to this website, so enabling others to benefit from your learnings and thereby help this movement to grow, innovate and flourish.
