We are proud to present our Three-Year Action Plan for 2024-27.
The Good Food Lewisham Action Plan covers the six required areas set out by Sustainable Food Places Network to help us achieve our aim of becoming a diverse and lively community that connects people to healthy, sustainable and affordable food that is grown, produced and prepared locally to promote a vibrant food culture and prospering local economy.
The Action Plan has been put together from engaging with over 350 individuals by:
· Analysing responses to the Good Food Movement survey
(130 responses which includes 41 community groups)
· Discussions from three quarterly network meetings (approximately 120 attendances) from September 2023 to March 2024
· Engaging with groups who are under-represented in survey results
· Ideas from the staff team, volunteers and Good Food Lewisham Steering Group
The survey identified the following top five priorities in order of popularity:
1. More support for growing locally by reducing allotment waiting times and identifying new growing areas.
2. Food procurement to support sustainable local food provision
3. Tackling the climate emergency by supporting locally grown and sourced seasonal food
4. Supporting food growing in schools
5. More action on food waste
These will be our priority areas over the next three years to focus our work.
Thanks again to everyone who's helped put this together - we really appreciate all your work and input. We look forward to working with you on these actions over the next three years.
