We’d like to see a high street where fresh, locally sourced veg is the cheaper option! Great to see this video from The Food Foundation ‘Nourishing the Nation: A shared vision of a brighter future, imagining how a better food system could benefit citizens and the planet.’ As an endowment, we’re proud to be part of the Investor Coalition on Food Policy – which is led by The Food Foundation. The coalition exists to harness the power of the investment community to engage with the government on food system related issues. As we head towards a General Election, the charity is calling for policymakers to take decisive action to reshape the food system so everyone, regardless of income or background, can eat nourishing food that promotes health and wellbeing for people and the planet. Building the foundations of a healthier society means healthy, nourishing food is accessible to everyone, and that’s the kind of change we want to be a part of. #NourishingTheNation #MyFoodVision
