Page: Good Food Economy

A Good Food Economy means a diverse and thriving supply chain from ‘farm to fork’. It supports decent livelihoods for farmers, fishers and food producers at home and abroad, and ensures manufacturers, suppliers, retailers and caterers make healthy, sustainable and culturally appropriate options the easy and attractive choice for everyone, with minimal waste. We all can change our food system by ‘voting with our purse’, but what we eat is mainly influenced by those who supply our food.

Page: Local Action

People across the UK are stepping up to change their food system. Local action takes many forms – from setting up a food project or enterprise that benefits one’s community, to starting a citizen campaign focussing on a specific issue, to bringing together local actors to work in partnership on systemic changes within the local food system. But all local action has at its core a belief that people can make a difference, and that seemingly small actions can often have wide-reaching benefits.

Page: Sustainable Farming and Fishing

Sustainable farming and fishing means that all food is produced or caught to high standards of animal welfare and environmental protection, playing a pivotal role in tackling climate change and protecting nature and natural assets for now and generations to come. Sustainable farming and fishing must be able to provide good jobs and livelihoods in food production, supported by a fair supply chain and provide the basis of healthy and sustainable diets. All scales of food production systems, from landscape to smaller-scale, can contribute to more sustainable practices when based on agroecology which work with nature to produce diverse, healthy food.
