We are a partnership of organisations working together for greener, fairer and healthier food for all, through sustainable local action.
What we do
As a partnership organisation, the LFP does not develop projects in an executive, singular way.
Rather we seek to bring groups of people together with a common purpose, to achieve more than we might have done individually.
Our role is thus supportive, catalytic and contributory, seeking to make a more integrated local food system, consistent with our mission and aims.
Tackling food poverty
We believe that everyone should have access to enough good food.
Use our online map to find your nearest foodbank, community larder, affordable cafe, membership supermarket or homeless outreach.
