Bristol’s Gold Sustainable Food Places award

What Gold Sustainable Food City status means and how you can take part

Bristol was awarded Gold Sustainable Food City status in May 2021 by the UK’s independent, Sustainable Food Places Board.

This followed Bristol’s city-wide Going for Gold campaign, which launched in spring 2019.

Bristol was awarded Gold for of our innovative approach and continuing commitment to:

reduce food waste
grow the city’s good food movement
address food inequality
increase urban food growing
improve catering and procurement
tackle the impacts of our food system on public health, nature, and climate change

Throughout the Bristol Going for Gold campaign we’ve been working with:

Bristol Food Network
Bristol Green Capital Partnership
Resource Futures
organisations, citizens, and food outlets across the city who logged over 1,900 positive actions on the Bristol Going for Gold website

Next steps

As a Gold Sustainable Food City we will continue to work with people, organisations and policy makers across the city to take action to improve the way we grow, buy and eat food in Bristol.
