Bury's Food Partnership

A collaboration of partners interested in healthier and sustainable food.

following its endorsement by the Health & Wellbeing Board in November 2020. It has since been integrated as part of the wider Bury Council 2030 Let’s Do It Strategy for the future of our borough. Alignment with complementary strategies has opened the way for food-related issues to be considered in many areas, such as Anti-Poverty, Climate Action, Cultural and Economic Growth. From the outset Bury Food Partnership has adopted whole systems thinking, and prides itself on being a positive space to connect, challenge and help shape the way Bury sources and provides good food for all. Through the Partnership, Bury became a Sustainable Food Places (SFPs) network member in 2021, using SFP themes to collate partner activity across the food system. This process in and of itself acted as a constructive means to track and drive further activity. Bury were awarded the Sustainable Food Places Bronze award in 2022 and are delighted to share that we have now achieved the prestigious SFPs Silver award for Bury in 2024 . We are passionate about building on this momentum and driving this work forward by seeking out initiatives, policies and campaigns that complement, strengthen, and steer our food culture and food system for the better.
