Good Food Leicestershire (Find us on Facebook @goodfoodleics)

Good Food Leicestershire aims to get nutritious Leicestershire food into Leicestershire bellies. We're also backing low-input farming methods that reduce carbon, enhance the environment and improve nutrition. We're looking to ensure the gold Food for Life standard Leicestershire Traded Services - who feed most of our primary schoolers - have their exacting standards written into policy. We'd like to reduce food waste and see the National Food Strategy become a reality. We'd like more people to be growing food. We'd like new housing development policy include allotment spaces and orchards. We'd like parents to eat more fruit and veg, and feed their kids more fruit and veg, too. We'd like consumers to buy British and seasonal food. We'd like Britain to become as close to 100 per cent sustainable, instead of importing 46% of its food. We'd like food to be given the importance and duty of care it deserves. Our diets affect our physical and mental health and the health of our planet.
