Brighton and Hove Food Partnership: Case Study
The Brighton and Hove Food Partnership is very close to the heart of Food Matters. The first piece of work undertaken by the then fledgling Food Matters was the Foodshed project which mapped the local food system in Brighton and Hove. Its findings resulted in a conference that brought together a diverse and very active community of food projects, community groups, food businesses, individuals and statutory agencies. Together they explored how to develop a partnership approach to sustainable food policy and action. This saw the beginnings of the Brighton & Hove Food Partnership, and a comprehensive strategy and action plan followed. The Brighton and Hove Food Partnership has grown in breadth, experience and expertise, and is now one of the leading city partnerships, bringing integrated sustainable food policy and delivery.
