Bristol Good Food 2030 Food Waste goals and priorities are confirmed and are summarised as below. These priorities are being shared with all community groups listed in the Bristol Good Food directory.

The below priorities inform the Bristol Good Food 2030 Action Plans and Framework.
- Educational campaigns reduce the amount of food wasted by households.
By targeting university students with campaigns to improve waste practices following decline post-covid.
- The majority of organisational food waste will be separated and sent for digestion.
For example, by North Bristol NHS increasing numbers of recycling bins and waste monitoring processes.
- Organisations improve waste prevention at the production and consumption stages.
By improving knowledge sharing around waste reduction.
- More food surplus is redistributed before becoming waste.
By better collaboration and infrastructural improvements to enable more food to be saved before being wasted and sent to organisations that can use it effectively, in a form people want to eat it in.
- Work together as a city to tackle single-use plastics. This includes food outlets, retailers, workplaces, universities and council buildings eliminating single-use plastic items from their operations and supply chain.
By reducing plastic packaging across university catering services and trialling a returnable cup scheme.
