  8. Economies of Scale and Scope Economies of Scale: “The more individual units that can be produced, the lower the average cost of production” (to a point) Economies of Scope: “The greater variety of things that can be produced for the same or lower cost, the lower the average cost of production” (also, to a point)

  9. Indicative Budgets 4-Hectare Developments Capital Funding $257,000 Establishment and Ongoing Operations $170,000 Total $427,000 10-Hectare Developments Capital Funding $475,000 Establishment and Ongoing Operations $170,000 Total $645,000 These budgets assume that a refrigerated vehicle and the management fees can be amortised across 5 projects Salaries are not included in these budget projections

  10. Conclusion G2G tackles: The cyclical pattern of demise observed in past community garden enterprises G2G offers: A single coordinating development and management body to ensure the best chance of success from the establishment of community gardens and farms
