Eastbourne
The Biodiversity & Food working group consists of representatives from the Eastbourne Food Partnership, EBC councillors and members of the public who share the passion to improve the quality and efficiency of the town’s food network.
The food supply chain for any town consumes energy and contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions.
We aim to rebuild a robust local food system, reducing the related food system emissions, supporting the local economy and increasing resilience in the face of multiple threats to our food supply.
We are following the Brighton Food Partnership that offers an inspiring neighbouring model of a highly successful local food network. Their Food Strategy Action Plan 2018-2023 offers an active blueprint for a sustainable food city that we can learn from and work to emulate here in Eastbourne.
The two biggest uses of carbon are buildings and transport. Energy used in buildings emits 63% of the carbon used in our town. Buildings use energy for electricity for powering lights, computers etc and for heating. Gas heating is in a large percentage of buildings for hot water and heating.
