UK councils have an important role to play in creating a more healthy and sustainable food system, so residents can access affordable, healthy and climate and nature friendly food.
For over 10 years, Sustain has mapped and reported on London’s borough level commitments to good food through the Good Food for All Londoners annual survey and report.
Supported by the Greater London Authority, this well recognised and respected benchmarking tool highlights council achievements, tells a city wide narrative on food and showcases innovative work, projects and campaigns to push the good food agenda further.

Good Food Local: the London report
We continue to work closely with London councils, to track their action on food and share examples of good practice from across the capital.
National launch of Good Food Local
Following the success of Good Food Local: London and Good Food Local: North East, we are gearing up to launch a new national assessment tool to help even more local authorities take meaningful action for a healthy and sustainable food system in their local area.
Sign up to the launch event on Thursday 22 May 2025.
Good Food Local: the North East report
