Encouraging councils to lead the way to a healthier future of food

Local governments hold huge potential to create healthier food environments by connecting food, climate, and health policies. We envision a future where local initiatives drive change through collaborative efforts, supporting sustainable food markets and influencing national policy shifts. By fostering local food systems and promoting plant-rich diets, cities can lead the way toward a more sustainable, just food system.
