Our aims are consistent with, and amplify, those of Sustainable Food Places

The Lincolnshire Food Partnership is what is termed a Constituted Unincorporated Community Association which means that we do have a constitution but we do not have a legal status. 

We can change our mindset and language to be more positive, empowering and inclusive.

If your organisation supports our aims, you might like to join us as Food Partners.

Food Partners are committed to working together towards fairer, greener, healthier food for all.
