April update

• Following successfully securing funding to develop a Food Disaster Risk Plan for Bristol, the University of Bristol, the University of the West of England, Feeding Bristol and Bristol Food Network are working together to consult community organisations and other key stakeholders from across the city in the development of the plan.

The outcomes for the work are to:  

1. Create a plan, using currently available resources, that will ensure a supply of food to vulnerable people in Bristol come the next pandemic/epidemic lockdown, extreme weather event (such as a storm or flood), or other comparable disaster. ​
2. Work with Bristol City Council and community organisations to – as much as possible – prepare them to action the plan.
3. Create a replicable framework for creating a Food Disaster Risk Plan that can be used by other cities. 

• The first set of food systems data on key indicators is now published on the Bristol Good Food 2030 website. The data will help offer insight into Bristol’s progress towards food system transformation – monitoring changes year on year.
