A thank you to Bristol’s Food Policy Council: and the work continues.

“How we produce, trade, eat and waste food influences the most pressing issues facing us today: from climate and ecological breakdown to human health and well-being, from poverty and justice to animal welfare.”

So Joy Carey, Bristol Food Network director and member of the Food Policy Council, reminded us when we celebrated our Gold Sustainable Food Places Award in June 2021. For 10 years, the Food Policy Council (FPC) has been striving to put ‘Good Food’ onto the agenda in Bristol, and to keep it there. Now, in the wake of the success of the city’s ‘Going for Gold’ campaign, the FPC is passing on the baton. Read more on the Bristol Good Food 2030 website, celebrating a decade of the FPC, thank all those who contributed to its success and look forward, considering how its work will continue across the city.
