Time for a Buckinghamshire Food Partnership? Full report

At the start of 2020 Sustain was commissioned by the Rothschild Foundation to lead a scoping exercise to see if there is demand for more joined-up work to support food and farming in Buckinghamshire.

This report sets out our findings over the past nine months in terms of Buckinghamshire’s food system: data on food and farming locally, current food-related activity, the results of our consultation, our recommendations, and the first steps needed to set up a Buckinghamshire Food Partnership.

Please see the fully-designed and more accessible summary report for snapshot headlines and infographics.
