How citizens are shaping policy development.

# data[].attributes.body
We have completed the Good Food Local benchmarking exercise to gain a clearer picture of how Nottinghamshire is performing across the wider food system, from leadership and governance to community participation, access to healthy food, and environmental sustainability. This assessment helps us to better understand not only what we are doing well, but also where we need to focus our efforts to strengthen local food policy. The findings will help to shape future priorities, guide more effective decision‑making, and support the development of coordinated actions across departments and partners.

Through the exercise, several areas where we can improve were identified, including the need for stronger strategic coordination across the food system, more consistent community engagement, limited data in some areas, and opportunities to strengthen food procurement, sustainability, and local food economy. By learning from these insights, we can build on existing good practice and develop more robust, evidence‑based policies that support a healthier, fairer, and more sustainable food system for all Nottinghamshire residents.

Good Food Local is a national benchmarking platform to help local authorities drive change. Through Good Food Local, local authorities can track and drive meaningful action in their area while learning from others nationwide to help build healthy, sustainable communities.

We know there is a wealth of different types of food support provision across Nottinghamshire. We also know that this landscape changes often with new groups starting, changing and ending which makes understanding what is current at any given time difficult. Our food support groups/ provisions ( food assets) are a great strength to our communities and are needed at times when our communities are at their most vulnerable.

We recognise that understanding what food assets we need and that we have and a means to make this accessible to the public is currently missing. Notts Help Yourself has been the centralised system that we have encouraged groups to sign upto to to promote their activities. Currently much of our group activity is promoted within each District. However we hope to complete a comprehensive data collection and hosted mapping project as part of the Food Resilience work. Currently we are explore funding opportunities to progress this work. Watch this space.

Exploring sustainable food through research

Nottinghamshire has developed a strong academic focus on sustainable food and is developing a body of local research through partnerships with Nottingham Trent University and the University of Nottingham.  The University of Nottingham Food Systems Institute brings together researchers from across disciplines and work with industry and policymakers to deliver solutions to transform the food system, from production and processing, through to transport, consumption and waste. Nottinghamshire Sustainable Food Network partners have been at the core of the many research projects undertaken by Nottingham Trent University, Coventry University and University of Nottingham. Some of the examples below show the collaboration of academic partners and local organisations working to transform the food system and understanding of barriers and alternative solutions.

To expand public awareness of food, empowering local food citizenship and building the momentum of local good food movements.

We want to ensure community involvement and engagement to empower individuals, organisations and communities to participate in decision-making and initiatives regarding our food systems. We will utilise the Nottinghamshire Food Charter as a call to action to encourage leadership and collaboration among various stakeholders, including government agencies, not-for-profits, community groups, businesses, and individuals. Key to achieving this are: communications that can inspire people about the importance and joy of good food e.g. food ambassadors, practical engagement opportunities e.g. community growing projects; and a facilitated network through which food actors of every kind can connect and collaborate as part of a local good food movement.

The NSFN has supported the development of the wider community food infrastructure by using its expertise to advocate, support or administer small grants scheme with the County council. NCC Local Communities Fund have allocated £1,460 000  funding to Community and Voluntary groups through these Funding streams between 2020-2025 .

In 2022/ 2023 NCC allocated £800k to develop and support community food activity with a focus on sustainability and inequality. A steering group of Network members provided oversight on decision making and management of the grants scheme. The implementation of a small grants scheme enabled and strengthened 245 community led interventions to address food insecurity through building skills, knowledge and confidence in cooking and growing food: strengthening and expanding a food infrastructure through capacity building and improving access to affordable healthy food.

A total of £210,000 will be allocated through the Food Redistribution Grant by 2026. Equally, £450,000  was allocated to community groups through the Cost of Living grant.

These funding streams have increased the number and quality of existing community food interventions such as social supermarkets and pantries, food clubs, social eating spaces and community cafes.
