Doncaster Food Network (DFN) re-launched in October 2025 after a few years hiatus. The DFN meets in-person bi-monthly, with each meeting focusing on one of the 5 aims of the Doncaster Food Plan, our local food strategy. The network and its meetings are coordinated by a member of City of Doncaster Council's Public Health team.
The Doncaster Food Network will support the delivery of the Doncaster Food Plan. The Doncaster Food Plan sets out a collective vision for food across the city, 5-year aims and objectives to work towards this, and a plan of action for how these aims and objectives will be achieved. The Food Plan has been co-produced by representatives from the council, third sector organisations, the public sector, and local businesses, and following a period of consultation involving over 1400 residents.
In the past the DFN were involved in the Delicious Doncaster annual events which are a city wide food event for Doncaster residents.
