Good Food York

Good Food York: is the cross-sector body that has strategic responsibility for York’s participation in the national Sustainable Food Places Network. Good Food York aims to represent and engage with all relevant stakeholders in the local food system. Its role is not to undertake all the work itself, but to identify challenges and opportunities in York’s food system, network with other relevant individuals and organisations, and seek their involvement in implementing specific projects within our emerging overall Food Action Plan. This Food Action Plan is a dynamic document, which is periodically reviewed by the Good Food York Working Group. 

Good Food is the best combination we can achieve of fresh, local, seasonal, healthy, delicious, affordable, sustainable, and fairly produced food. We believe that Good Food is vital to the quality of people’s lives.
