Bath and North East Somerset (B&NES) are developing a local authority-wide food strategy to promote healthy, sustainable and local food in their area. Their aim is to improve accessibility to healthy, affordable food and to transform their food culture to one that improves health and wellbeing, environmental sustainability and the local economy. Although they are in the early stages of developing their strategy, numerous successful food projects are underway in B&NES relating to healthy eating, communal food growing, cooking and growing skills and local food markets. Their first event will engage with food representatives from across the district to take a collaborative approach to future work.
