Sustainable Food

Tackling the climate and nature emergency is the greatest challenge of our time. We believe it demands a radical shift towards agroecological farming, sustainable diets, and ending food waste.

Find information about sustainable food in Leeds, locate a community composting scheme or growing project near you, and learn about the work we’re doing with partners to transform food production and reduce our city’s carbon impact.

Compost Collective Leeds

We believe food waste should be composted and not thrown in the bin. Compost Collective Leeds is a city-wide solution to this through community composting schemes.

Food and Climate

Global food systems account for up to one-third of greenhouse gas emissions. We’ve partnered with others to take action and significantly reduce the impact of our food on the planet by the 2030s.

Veg Cities

Veg Cities is a national campaign encouraging people in urban places to grow, cook, sell and save more vegetables.
