COUNCILS & POLICY
RESILIENT PLACE-BASED FOOD SYSTEMS
As food systems experts, we at SGFP work from community up to the National level in food systems research, policy consultancy, resilience planning and programme development.
It's a complex landscape that is shifting quickly. We have compiled a collection of resources to inform Councils and Local Authorities on where we stand with food system resilience, and why action is urgently needed.

We believe in a systems approach to creating a more sustainable, healthy and fair food system for Shropshire. That means joined-up across our policies at County Council level - connecting the dots in ways that support food businesses and producers, reduce our environmental impact, improve health and food access, and reduce waste.
