Bridport Food Partnership

The Partnership mission is to achieve a Sustainable Food System in the Bridport area.

We want a joined up local food economy that produces more fruit & vegetables;  supports local livelihoods and increases community wellbeing; promotes greater  access to healthy, seasonal food for everyone; encourages agro-eoclogical and new farmers and food enterprises; and in ways that protect and regenerate the natural  environment. 

We want a food system which is good for people, animals and the planet.

Core Values: 

· food is at the heart of community cohesion and resilience 

· food should be healthy both for people and planet 

· activities should be inclusive and accessible 

· working collaboratively, co-creating, consulting local communities, building  partnerships 

Bridport Food Partnership has emerged from 5 years' work of lead organisation Bridport Food Matters: a community hub promoting access to nutritious food for all forever.  BFM was founded as a partnership between Seeding Our Future, Bridport Local Food Group and Sustainable Bridport. This in turn builds on the legacy of Food Future Bridport, a vibrant local food economy and and many community food initiatives. Key partners include Town Council.
