Sustainable Food Places Awards

The Sustainable Food Places Award is designed to recognise and celebrate the success of those places taking a joined up, holistic approach to food and that are achieving significant positive change on a range of key food issues.

The Sustainable Food Places Awards recognise and celebrate the success of places across the UK who take a holistic and systems approach to sustainable and healthy food.

The Awards are open to any place - be it a city, large town, borough, county or district - which is a member of the Sustainable Food Places Network.
