The ‘Fields of Hope’ film was made to reflect the ideas and concerns Fife farmers had who took part in the Fork to farm dialogues meetings.
The Food4Fife project is about people in Fife (individuals, communities and businesses) coming together to work across all aspects of the food system to help solve some of today’s health, environmental and economic challenges.
The aim of the project is for us all to work together to help change and adapt Fife’s food culture, so that the food system, which we produce and consume, becomes more local and more environmentally friendly, and therefore more sustainable.
The Food4Fife project started in January 2021 and has successfully completed the first phase at the end of July 2021. Phase 2 will continue through to the end of 2023.
Phase one - aimed to bring together experienced people from Fife from all areas of the food system to form a partnership and create a food vision. We held a food vision workshop in June and launched the Food4Fife partnership in August 2021
Phase two - The partnership will create a food strategy and an action plan to increase the use of local and climate friendly produced food in Fife.
The food strategy will be based on 6 main priorities. See below for more information. and is reflected in our draft vision.
We also hope to have a number of working groups that will deliver projects for each of the main priorities.
If you would like to be a part of the project by contributing to the partnership, the working groups, strategy, and vision please get in touch.
The project is supported by Sustainable Food Places and funded through support from Sustain, the Soil Association, Food Matters, Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and The National Lottery.
