New horizons for food and farmingFood is a great way to introduce sustainability into everyone’s lives.In terms of social, environmental and economicbenefits there is much that can be done to improvethe UK and indeed world food supply so that it canbecome more sustainable. Sustain: The alliance forbetter food and farming, advocates food and agriculturepolicies and practices that enhance thehealth and welfare of people and animals, improvethe working and living environment, enrich societyand culture and promote equity. We represent over100 national public interest organisations workingat international, national, regional and local level.As an alliance, we work in collaboration with ourmembership to exchange information, and helppromote their activities to the media and to policymakers. We also work to devise and implementpolicies on particular issues of common concernand we publish reports and arrange events to promotethe knowledge and skills needed to enjoy andappreciate good food as vital to personal, family andsocial life.Key issues we are working on at the momentinclude: Food procurement by public bodies like schoolsand hospitals to ensure healthier, more sustainableand local food is served in canteens oftencatering for the most vulnerable groups like childrenand the sick Food Marketing and Labelling – we are coordinatingthe campaign for the Children’s Food Bill(see www.childrensfoodbill.org.uk) which willresult in control of advertising of junk food tochildren, and better food in schools for instance The Food Poverty Project to ensure those on lowincome can access a good dietfavour sustainable food and farming and maketrade rules fair Promoting an increase in UK organic agricultureworking on the Governments Organic ActionPlan for instance.We continually press governments and other regulatoryagencies to ensure that legislation and policieson food and agriculture are publicly accountableand socially and environmentally responsible.Another target for our work is the food industry, toencourage them to produce, process and marketfoods which are good for health and the environment,and to devise, invest in and maintain policiesand practices that make sustainable food choices theeasy choice. We have an extensive range of publicationscovering our current and past areas of work.The alliance is independent from the agri-foodindustry and is funded from grants from charitabletrusts and foundations and occasional governmentrelatedsources, membership subscriptions and salesof publications. No funding is accepted from anysource which would compromise, or appear to compromise,the alliance’s principlesBy Vicki Hird.
