Good food is vital to the quality of people’s lives and plays an essential role in improving health and wellbeing and reducing health inequalities. Our vision is that everyone in Nottinghamshire no matter what their age and where they live should have access to healthy tasty affordable food which should also be positive for the environment and local economy.
