Member-only webinar: Why we need a Good Food Bill

Volatile food prices on the high street; increasing pressure on farmers and growers; rising food-related ill health and growing food insecurity all point to the same conclusion: our food system isn’t working, and it will not improve without concerted action from central government. We need a new law that would ensure food and nutrition security for citizens across England.

To mark the launch of the campaign calling for a Good Food Bill, Sustain, The Food Foundation and Green Alliance are hosting a members-only webinar for organisations in the Food Strategy Alliances.

We will hear from Kath Dalmeny, Chief Executive of Sustain; Dr Hannah Brinsden, Head of Policy at The Food Foundation; and Sam Chetan-Welsh, Senior Political Advisor at Green Alliance.

This will be followed by a Q&A session with attendees.

What we’ll cover

• Why the current approach to food policy is failing, and why legislation is the missing piece

• The core aims and mechanisms of the proposed Good Food Bill

• The political opportunity ahead, and what makes this moment different

• How Food Strategy alliance members can support and strengthen the campaign

Who it’s for

This webinar is for members of the Food Strategy Alliances, which includes members from the Sustain alliance, Obesity Healthy Alliance, Plant-based Food Alliance UK, Wildlife and Countryside Link, and Eating Better.

It will be particularly relevant for organisations working on:

• food and farming

• children’s health and public health

• poverty, access to food and inequalities

• environmental sustainability and long-term resilience

Whether your organisation is already actively campaigning on food policy or is looking to understand how a Good Food Bill could support your goals, we encourage you to attend.
