What are the action plans?
Many organisations, community groups, institutions and citizens are contributing to a better food system for Bristol. They’re all part of the city’s good food movement.
Bristol Food Network coordinates the Bristol Good Food Partnership, bringing people together to drive change across Bristol’s food system.
The Partnership programme is structured around six themes, which together form a ‘whole food system’ approach – ensuring that all aspects of food in Bristol are considered.
Each theme has its own action plan, developed collaboratively with members of the Bristol Good Food Partnership. These plans outline shared priorities, initiatives and next steps for improving food in the city, and building a fairer, greener and more resilient food system.
Why is Bristol taking action for Good Food?
The way all of us produce, buy, cook, eat and throw away food in Bristol is important. It impacts our health, our communities, and our economy, and contributes to the climate and ecological emergencies the planet faces today.
By taking action for good food as a city, we can build a food system that is good for Bristol, and lead other cities in the UK and across the globe in co-creating a food system that’s good for everyone.
How were the plans created?
In January 2025, the second series of collaborative Action Plan workshops took place, bringing together a wide range of stakeholders from the Bristol Good Food Partnership.
They provided space to reflect on the successes and challenges of food-related work during 2023–24, identify current priorities, build on existing progress, and co-develop a roadmap toward a more resilient and sustainable food future for Bristol. These workshops played a pivotal role in shaping the city’s Food Action Plans for 2025–27.
Outcomes from Bristol Good Food 2030 – A One City Framework for Action have also shaped the priorities and actions in the 2025-27 Action Plans.
The resulting 2025–27 Action Plans can now be accessed here. These plans align closely with the Food Equality Strategy and Action Plan (FESAP) and will inform Bristol’s One City Plan review in 2025, helping to guide coordinated good food action across the city over the coming years.
