Over 60 attendees from more than 30 organisations came together to create a vision to promote good and sustainable food for a borough-wide food plan.
“ It was great to hear about the dynamic discussions and plans with more than 30 organisations represented at the Walsall Food Summit. Growing, supplying and selling good food for communities to access are just some of the things that make a thriving food system.
It is important that we do not lose sight of the positive work that is already taking place. Let us continue to build on existing policy and practice and work towards the ambition of creating a positive food environment for everyone. “
“ The Walsall Food Summit was such an exciting event. It was fantastic to see and hear from so many people in the room that were enthused about improving the food system in Walsall.
As part of the round table discussions looking at the draft Walsall Food Plan, it was clear that there are already so many brilliant activities happening to improve opportunities to grow, buy and eat good food and it was so motivating to hear about them.
Food for Life are excited to be working with Walsall Council take forward key priorities identified through the summit and work collaboratively to explore the development of a Walsall Food Partnership. “
