In this webinar we’re talking about public institutions using public money to buy food; think schools, hospitals and council run care homes. Sustain and its alliance of food sector organisations have been campaigning for public institutions to invest the public’s money in food for public good. The potential for better health and environmental outcomes is huge given that £2.4 billion is spent purchasing food and catering services by public institutions every year.

Our work is to show why we must bridge the price gap between conventionally produced and climate and nature friendly fruit and veg. The case needs to be built that the public good of change is imperative if we are to meet our health, social and environmental commitments.
