The overarching vision for the Bury Food Strategy is for Bury to be at the forefront of promoting and celebrating good food for all, through a knowledgeable, connected, supported and vibrant food culture.

This will be achieved through a focus on ensuring that healthy and sustainable food in Bury is:

• Promoted and Celebrated 
• Accessible to All
• Built on Education 
• Vibrant and Resilient 
• Resourced and Sustainable 
• Connected and Collective.

These objectives are based on the Sustainable Food Places Framework (SFP), and have been tailored to reflect local priorities in Bury based on consultation with a wide range of key stakeholders.

The Sustainable Food Places Framework focuses on six key areas of action: 

• Promoting health and sustainable food to the public
• Tackling food poverty, diet related ill health and access to healthy food 
• Building community food knowledge, skills resources and projects 
• Promoting vibrant and diverse sustainable food economy 
• Transforming catering and food procurement 
• Reducing waste and the ecological footprint of the food system
