Sustainable Food Places Awards

The Sustainable Food Places Awards recognise and celebrate the success of places across the UK who take a holistic and systems approach to sustainable and healthy food.

The Awards are open to any place - be it a city, large town, borough, county or district - which is a member of the Sustainable Food Places Network. 

If you are thinking about applying for an award, the window will reopen for expressions of interest in early summer 2027. 

Before deciding to apply, please review a range of succesful applications linked below to ensure you are ready to apply, and to start working on evidencing activity and impact in your place.

We also recommend you read these three vital guidance documents as a starting place. We expect some changes for the coming year, but these give you a good idea of what we require and the process:

• SFP Awards: Guidance for Applicants - this document includes information about the process and awards timelines

• SFP Awards: Activity and Impact - example benchmark activities for each key issue

• SFP Bronze and Silver Awards Application Form

If you would like to apply for a Gold SFP Award in 2027, please contact us via the email address at the bottom of this page.
