Good food is a cornerstone of thriving communities, it:
- Strengthens the local economy by supporting regional producers and businesses
- Tackles poverty by improving access to nutritious meals for everyone
- Promotes better health through balanced, wholesome diets
- Protects the environment by encouraging sustainable practices and reducing waste
- Is affordable, accessible, and nourishing, ensuring equity across all communities
This commitment outlines how individuals, organisations, and communities can each play a role in building a fairer, healthier, and more sustainable food system.
This charter sets out how everyone can play their part.
