The Sustainable Food Places Day of Celebration and Action will take place on Wednesday the 5^th November. This is our occasion to convene in Parliament to showcase and celebrate the important work of our network, strengthen our relationships with our MPs and step into our roles as experts on issues that matter the most to their constituents. The focus this year is Food Partnerships enable healthy, sustainable, and affordable food in your constituency. This year is a key moment in food and farming, including the development of a national Food Strategy that recognises the role of vibrant local food cultures

The UK-wide Sustainable Food Places network convenes 123 food partnerships who link up local authorities, community organisations, farmers, businesses and residents to roll out innovative projects improving access to healthy, sustainable food, strengthening supply chains and celebrating local food identity.

Why it Matters

• It gives national visibility to local food action, elevating grassroots solutions into parliamentary and policy discussions.
• It builds stronger collaboration between local partners and MPs, which can influence policy and secure funding or legislative support.
• It reinforces the idea that transforming food systems is not just an agricultural/farming matter but spans public health, community development, environment and local economy.

Together, we can make Leeds a healthier, more sustainable and more equitable place to live.
