Impact
How we keep up with food system progress.
How are we measuring impact?
Bristol Good Food 2030 (BGF2030) is an ambitious project with stakeholders across different sectors in the city.
The BGF2030 One City Framework for Action outlines food goals for 2030, supported by Key Performance Indicators provided by partners to monitor progress.
Additionally, action plans outline priorities and initiatives to tackle our food system challenges for each year, until 2027. Short Term Indicators have been used to track progress against these actions, and feature in the 2024 and 2023 Progress Reports.
These indicators offer insight into Bristol’s progress towards food system transformation.
Key Performance Indicators
These High Level indicators report on the Theme Outcomes in the Action Plans and will stay the same until 2030.
