10 Principles to guide the transition to Sustainable Food Systems


Hackney Food Partnership

The Partnership (HFP) brings together groups and individuals to help create a more healthy and sustainable food system, and to encourage and support action on food issues throughout the borough. 

HFP will build on what is going well in Hackney, such as the many local food growing initiatives, and address a wider range of issues such as ethical, healthy and sustainable food procurement, promotion of local shops and markets, development of supportive planning policies, and food poverty. We will also be helping to ensure the borough moves up London Food Link's Good Food for London league table and improves on its poor showing in each of the last four years.

Sign up to receive news and updates from HFP or email Hackney Food Partnership to tell us about your initiative and how you'd like to get involved.

HFP working group meetings are usually on the 2nd Wednesday of the month – see the events page for location. These are open to all and focus on developing the Partnership's strategy and implementing its action plan. 

HFP also organises public meetings on specific issues, and to explore new projects or areas of work. Your ideas for public meetings are welcome and HFP are interested in working with others to hold events.

There are some big planters at Netil Market, near London Fields just waiting for someone to give them some TLC and grow something lovely.

If you are interested in this allotment type opportunity contact Sarah who runs the market http://netilmarket.tumblr.com/contact or market@creativenetworkpartners.com

6 new food growing spaces and nearly 40 new food growers now on Clapton park estate.  Meeting Tuesday at the Cow bridge about the 7th.  Great place to work, great people to work with.
