Partnership and Governance

We are taking a strategic and collaborative approach to good food governance and action

To transform Fife’s food system into one that is healthy, sustainable, and thriving by 2030, we need a joined-up strategic approach and committed long-term collaboration. This needs to happen between individuals and organisations across every sector and at every level; from community grassroots and third sector organisations to businesses and council leaders.

The following diagram illustrates the Food4Fife Partnership governance structure.

Involvement of stakeholders

This strategy is not an output of one organisation, but a product of collaboration and joint working between partners from across Fife’s food system.

The strategy chapters have each been contributed by working groups formed of partners who are actively involved in the pillars. From farmers to public services, from community groups to food and drink businesses, each partner contributes a wealth of knowledge and brings a different perspective on Fife’s food system.


Implementation and monitoring progress

The Food4Fife Strategy and Action Plan will be monitored through the Food4Fife Partnership governance structure. There will be ongoing updates with reporting on each of the pillars.
