How can we unlock the power of local food?
It can feed us in a crisis, strengthen our local economies and create better places to live. Local food matters. Demand for it is strong but the sector faces enormous structural barriers to scaling up and out.
Over the past two years, Sustain have consulted hundreds of local food system actors to ask: what does the local food sector really need to grow? What does this mean for governments, for retailers, for investors and for the sector itself? And what do we do next?
In this webinar, experts from Sustain and partner organisations will share insights from the recently published Local Food Growth Plan on how we can scale the sector for security, economic and placemaking benefits.
With Julia Kirby-Smith from Better Food Traders, Richard Kipling from Sustainable Food Trust, Mhairi Brown from Food, Farming and Countryside Commission, Matthew Thomson from Sustainable Food Cornwall and Rachel Jones from Sustain.
This webinar is for food producers, retailers, processors, hubs and trade organisations, as well food partnerships and local councils.
