Cambridge Achieves Silver Award

Cambridge Sustainable Food is proud to announce that the city of Cambridge has received a Sustainable Food Places Silver Award. This award recognises and celebrates the success of places achieving significant food system change. Cambridge is one of only five other UK cities to have achieved this prestigious standard demonstrating the city's dedication in tackling issues such as climate change, food justice and diet-related ill health.

Sustainable Food Places is a partnership programme led by the Soil Association, Food Matters and Sustain: the alliance for better food and farming. Since achieving a Bronze Award in 2016, Cambridge Sustainable Food Partnership, along with many organisations, businesses and community members have been working hard towards silver.

This award is a testament to the hard work of Cambridge Sustainable Food and the wider city. Congratulations all!

The Silver award recognises the City’s commitment to positive change across six key objectives. In order to achieve this standard, Cambridge has demonstrated significant progress across all of these.
