1. That Cabinet agree to adopt the H&F Food Plan 2025 – 2030 principles and framework for delivery, attached at appendix one.

2. That Cabinet support the development of a detailed local action plan which will enable the H&F Food for All Partnership to drive forward key initiatives based on our sphere of influence and the resources available to us.

Councillor Alex Sanderson (Deputy Leader) introduced the report that recommended adopting a 5-year Food Plan, created by the Council and the H&F Food for all Partnership and building on the H&F Food Matters: Action Plan 2019-2024. The plan aimed to promote healthier lifestyles, enhance access to nutritious food for the community, and cut waste.

Councillor Wesley Harcourt (Cabinet Member for Climate Change and Ecology) added that the plan also contributed to the Council’s environmental and climate goals. He noted that 30% of waste in the borough was food waste and the plan would help reduce that.
