As a Cambridge food business you can play a key role in shaping a food system that is good for people and our planet. With the global food system accounting for a third of greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to the climate and ecological crises, the food you buy and sell can make a big difference to the state of our planet.

As a local food business you have the power to build healthy communities that support the environment, nature and the local economy through the food you buy, serve and sell.

Actions your Business could take

Reduce the amount of meat and dairy you use or sell
Cater for people and the planet at your organisation's events with plenty of plant-based options.
Reduce your food miles by changing your menu to reflect the delights of the season and sourcing fresh produce that is grown or farmed locally.
Tackle the climate crisis by taking action on food waste, by establishing a food waste policy and providing education and signalling of food waste reduction to employees.
Adopt a Sustainable Food Policy that includes reducing meat and dairy and increasing plant-based options.
