At the start of 2020 Sustain was commissioned by the Rothschild Foundation to lead a scoping exercise to see if there is demand for more joined-up work to support food and farming in Buckinghamshire.
Producing a summary report of Buckinghamshire’s food system: the results of our consultation, data on food and farming locally, current food-related activity, our recommendations, highlighted the desire and need to set up a Buckinghamshire Food Partnership.
In 2021 Buckinghamshire Food Partnership officially became a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) with a board of Trustees, supported by an innovative Steering Group and network of delivery partners. Our Partnership Director joined us in early 2022.

Sustainable Food Places- Buckinghamshire
Sustainable Food Places (previously Sustainable Food Cities) is about changing places through food. From obesity and diet-related ill-health to food poverty and waste, climate change and biodiversity loss to declining prosperity and social dislocation, food is not only at the heart of some of our greatest problems but is also a vital part of the solution. Buckinghamshire Food Partnership is currently a member of Sustainable Food Places and working towards the Bronze Award, as one of the flagship countywide Sustainable Food Places.
