Quienes somos
Good Food Lewisham es una red de personas apasionadas que trabajan juntas para cambiar el mundo de la comida en el distrito londinense de Lewisham. Nuestra visión es ver que nuestro hogar se convierta en una comunidad diversa y animada que conecte a las personas con alimentos saludables, sostenibles y asequibles que se cultiven, produzcan y preparen localmente para promover una cultura alimentaria vibrante y una economía local próspera.
GFL se fundó en 2016 como parte del proyecto Ciudades alimentarias sostenibles para ayudar a Lewisham a convertirse en un distrito oficial de buena alimentación en Londres al obtener un premio de bronce. Financiado por Sustainable Food Cities y GCDA, GFL pretende ser una asociación comunitaria intersectorial que promueva el gran trabajo de todos en todo el condado. La red debe servir como centro de información y punto de contacto para cualquier persona interesada en los alimentos, ya sea un individuo, una empresa, una organización escolar o un grupo comunitario. Se ha reconocido ampliamente a escala mundial que los alimentos desempeñan un papel fundamental en cuestiones de amplio alcance, como la mala salud relacionada con la dieta, la obesidad, el desperdicio, el aislamiento social e incluso el cambio climático. Al trabajar juntos a través de un enfoque conjunto, podemos comenzar a abordar estos desafíos a nivel local y ayudar a crear un Lewisham más sostenible, saludable y equitativo.
