Tasty London aims to promote environmental justice in London by increasing the coverage of edible plants in public spaces through a series of street and garden improvements, thereby encouraging the spread of urban foraging lifestyles.

The ability to share food is a feature that distinguishes humans from one another. Thus, the expansion of edible gardens in metropolitan areas represents the possibility for sharing and a social claim of equal green rights. This helps to facilitate environmental justice in London, a city with large income disparities.

In Tasty London, the private gardens and pedestrian street renovations, with Tonbridge Street as a pilot, increase opportunities for foraging in the city. This not only provides a right to food to address hunger, but also as an act of enjoyment of urban green space. The process of project users working together to maintain the gardens provides opportunities for community interaction and education in nature stewardship, promoting a collective sense of community trust, belonging, and positive socialisation while picking and sharing food.
