FoodFutures is North Lancashire’s award-winning Sustainable Food Partnership, with the region recieving a Gold Sustainable Food Places Award in October 2026.
Formally known as Sustainable Food City (SFC) Lancaster, the partnership was initiated by Transition City Lancaster in 2014 and has since developed into FoodFutures: a district-wide alliance, with themed working groups taking forward elements of the Our Food Futures community food strategy for North Lancashire.
FoodFutures is now made up of representatives from the local farming community, local food businesses, the public sector, Lancaster City and County council, Lancaster District Food Justice Partnership, Rewilding Roots, Lancaster District CVS, community food groups and our local academic institutions.
This partnership of people from across North Lancashire’s food system are working together to cultivate "a thriving local food system that is healthy, resilient and fair".

FoodFutures has sparked, trialled, collaborated on and coordinated a number of project over the years, all of which are highlighted in North Lancashire's Gold Award application. These include:
