Identify and support local producers and suppliers, looking to increase the quantity, quality, and diversity of locally produced food.
Act as a hub between key stakeholders, linking up local producers, suppliers and consumers to create an integrated local food network.
Encourage and support regenerative agricultural practice to increase yield, improve soil quality and reinstate lost biodiversity.
Reduce food waste by linking up surplus food with community groups and services who can use it. Reduce of excess packaging along the food chain.
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.
