Sustainable Food Trust

How do we move from the food systems we have to the food systems we need for the future? Be part of a Global Food Movement. Mission To investigate the opportunities and challenges of building adequate supplies of safe, nutritious food, produced in ways that cause the least harm to the environment. Description SFT is dedicated to harnessing the collective power of organisations, people, and communities to build more sustainable food systems that support human and environmental health. What does a sustainable food system look like? It is one where the food is safe to eat and keeps us healthy. Everyone can access this food, regardless of economic status. It is one where soil fertility is maintained and environmental pollution is minimal so that we can grow on our land for generations to come. In a sustainable food system, plant and animal diversity and welfare are protected. Won’t you join us? SFT programmes of work: 1.
