Project location: England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales

We want to fund projects that strengthen our food system and reduce food insecurity for people and communities.

We want to support ways of producing enough healthy, affordable food without harming the planet.

We will do this by supporting work that:

works with nature to create resilient, sustainable and equitable food systems (this is called agroecology)
addresses the root cause of long-term problems, not just the symptoms (this is called systems change)

You must meet one or more of our aims

community organisations grow and produce food – using agroecological methods
food gets distributed – aiming for equitable access to healthy, affordable food for all
offers people and communities different food options – especially those experiencing poverty, disadvantage or discrimination

For more detail, see our funding aims.

You must meet all of these criteria

You must show us that you’ll:

work in a partnership
make a lasting impact on climate change, the environment and nature
significantly increase access to healthy, affordable food – especially for those experiencing poverty, disadvantage or discrimination
have firm plans to measure the impact of your work
have firm plans to tell the story of your project to inspire others
show how you’ll meaningfully involve communities and organisations representing communities in your project
