Cheltenham Food Strategy Group
Following our launch in June 2023, a Food Strategy Group has formed and has started to explore the issues identified through our launch and from conversations across the borough.
This group is facilitated by Feeding Gloucestershire and comprises of representatives from –
Cheltenham Borough Council, Feed Cheltenham, Good Food Cheltenham/Project Grow, Planet Cheltenham/Vison 21 and local business
Bringing together community food support, community growing, sustainability and business with local government to explore a food strategy for Cheltenham. This group is working to identify the priority areas needed to create a sustainable food network and strategy.
The first strand of work that has been identified is food surplus/waste with a meeting scheduled for the 9th of February.
Nourishing Gloucester Forum
Building a sustainable food network was one of the priority areas identified at Feeding Gloucestershire’s launch in Gloucester and reflects the recommendations made in Nourishing Gloucester: A Food Strategy for All
Through the Nourishing Gloucester Forum, which is being facilitated by Feeding Gloucestershire and Gloucester City Council, we will explore how we can bring together strategic and policy priorities with practical community delivery, knowledge and experience – to identify key development areas and create an action plan that is reflective of the needs of Gloucester City and the organisations that support the city.
At our first Forum meeting in November 2023 we explored two questions
- What we need for a Sustainable Food Network by 2030?
- How can we create the Network and who should be around the table?
Since our last forum we have been working in the background and we now have a dedicated email address, nourishinggloucester@gmail.com, and social media accounts so you can connect with us –Facebook, Instagram and Twitter
At our next forum on the 1st February 2024 we will be looking at deciding our priorities and asking who will join us to take this work forward
