Sustainable Food Places (SFP) Partnerships

The Sustainable Food Places (SFP) Partnerships represent the crucial local implementation of food system transformation in Yorkshire, translating regional strategy into city-specific actions. These partnerships, including ShefFood (Sheffield), Good Food York, and Foodwise Leeds, are cross-sector coalitions that bring together local government, NGOs, businesses, and communities. Their work focuses on developing and implementing Good Food Strategies tailored to local needs, addressing issues like food poverty, increasing community growing spaces, promoting healthy eating, and driving change in institutional procurement to support local, sustainable suppliers. They act as essential conveners, ensuring that transformation efforts are locally relevant, inclusive, and integrated into broader city development goals.
