The Brighton and Hove Food Partnership has been revising the city's food strategy 'Spade to Spoon'. Brighton & Hove was the first city in the UK to write a food strategy back in 2006. Download a copy of the previous strategy (pdf, 778Kb).

The refreshed Food Strategy will set out how the city intends to work towards a healthier, more sustainable food system - one that addresses health inequailities, reduces food poverty, supports local food businesses and reduces the envronmental impact of the way we produce, consume and dispose of food. Throughout 2011, we consulted with partner organisations and individuals to identify gaps, challenges and opportunities.

'Spade to Spoon: Digging Deeper', the refreshed food strategy for Brighton & Hove, went for endorsement to the Council's Cabinet on 8th December and to the Board of the Brighton & Hove Food Partnership on 13th December. Other key partners including public health, the universities, local businesses and the community and voluntary sector are signing up to the strategy, ready for a public launch in spring 2012.
