A FOOD STRATEGY FOR CALDERDALE

A collective vision, setting out how we will work together to increase access to affordable, nutritious, sustainable food and create a thriving food system that is healthy, resilient and fair. Our strategy will set out Calderdale’s commitment to the food agenda across multiple policy areas that impact the food system; start conversations and act as a call to action; lead to the formation of a region-wide cross-sector action plan which will include practical steps to ensuring everyone has access to the food they deserve.

The Vision for Calderdale is a place where we can all realise our potential whoever we are and where we can live a larger life. A place of talent and enterprise; kindness and resilience and a place that is distinctive. Access to affordable, nutritious and sustainable food can support us achieve our Vision. Food plays a unique role in connecting all aspects of community, health, economy and environment.

We are developing our strategy through 5 Key Themes which will act as a framework for actions.
