Our purpose

We aim to harness the power of the food system, showing how food can transform some of the most urgent challenges facing our society into opportunities for the future.

The Manchester Food Strategy 2023-2028

Food intersects so many areas of our lives and it offers solutions to many of the issues we face. We work to address some of our city’s most difficult food-related challenges, including the climate emergency, health crisis, food poverty, food security of supply and the cost-of-living crisis.

In 2022, we consulted with a wide range of businesses, organisations and community groups, to identify the strategic priorities that would help us create a resilient food system for the city.
