Bristol Good Food 2030 Partnership

What we do

In 2023, the partnership launched Bristol Good Food 2030: A One City Framework for Action, setting out a shared vision and direction for transforming Bristol’s food system. This built on the city’s Sustainable Food Places Gold Award and a strong foundation of cross-sector collaboration.

The partnership is now focused on delivering the 2025-2027 Action Plans, developed collaboratively across six themes. These plans bring together a wide range of organisations to take forward both practical delivery and longer-term systems change.

Key areas of activity include:

• Supporting community food skills, cooking and access to healthy, affordable food through the Eating Better theme
• Strengthening Food Waste initiatives, such as surplus food redistribution and infrastructure, closed loop composting schemes and working to reduce single-use plastics
• Expanding and connecting Urban Growing spaces and community food projects across the city
• Developing a more resilient and inclusive Local Food Economy, including work on public procurement and pathways into food and hospitality jobs
• Advancing food justice through the Food Equality Strategy and Action Plan (FESAP; coordinated by Feeding Bristol), addressing food insecurity and inequality
• Building food system resilience through Food Disaster Risk Planning, developed in partnership with Feeding Bristol, the University of Bristol and the University of the West of England, drawing on lessons from the COVID-19 response
• Improving shared data and indicators to better understand and track progress across the food system

The partnership also supports citywide engagement through events, Working Groups, storytelling and communications, helping to connect organisations, share learning and align action.
