Description: Sustainable Food Somerset is an alliance of people and organisations passionate about making healthy, sustainably grown food accessible to all. Regenerative farming, agroecology, and building the market for good local food will help curb carbon emissions, boost biodiversity and build food security.
Our mission The current food system is unsustainable: a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and biodiversity loss that is failing to nourish too many of us, but also hugely wasteful. Yet farming in Somerset could be the very opposite: farmland can be a vast store for carbon, a sanctuary for nature, a source of local economic prosperity and an educational and therapeutic resource like no other.
Our vision is for a vibrant, varied and thriving food culture in Somerset where farming according to agroecological principles is the norm – restoring wildlife, attracting visitors, boosting the local economy, enhancing health and wellbeing. We hope you'll want to be part of our growing movement demanding a better, more resilient and nature-friendly food system.
“The actions that we take in the next ten years are critical to recover and regenerate nature; and to restore health and wellbeing to both people and planet.” Our Future In The Land: A report by the Food Farming and Countryside Commission and the RSA 2019
