Sustainable Food Partnership
Fermanagh and Omagh District Council is working to establish a Sustainable Food Partnership for the District. The Sustainable Food Partnership will aim to raise public awareness of the benefits of sustainable food; tackle food poverty and diet related ill-health; create a vibrant and diverse food economy; transform and revitalise supply chains; and address the impact on Climate Change through sustainable food and farming to food waste.
Food is not only at the heart of some of our greatest problems from obesity and diet-related ill-health to food poverty and waste, climate change and biodiversity loss but it is also a vital part of the solution. Sustainable Food Partnerships bring together statutory and community organisations, businesses and academics to create a local sustainable food system to redress these issues at a local level and promote healthy and sustainable food for all.
Further information is available on our climate website.
