Reports: Getting more sustainable food into London's hospitals: Can it be done? And is it worth it?

Starting in 2004, Sustain worked with the Soil Association to help hospitals in London use more healthy and sustainable food. The project showed that hospitals can contribute to happier patients and staff, a better environment and more business for local farms and food companies, just by changing the food they buy and serve. By the end of 2005, one of the four London hospitals in the project was buying almost 15% of their food from local and/or organic sources, with the others making progress and more hospitals wanting to join in. However, there were problems too, and the report outlines how they were overcome, and what more government needs to do to make sustainable food in hospitals the norm, rather than the exception.
