Food and Sustainability

Do you grow food? Do you provide food to other members of the community? Do you plant trees, or take any action to improve our environment? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then we’d love to hear from you!

Food is a key part of life, which we rely on to survive. It is important for both our mental and physical health. Every year, the council and partners have to fill in a survey, demonstrating all the great work that happens in the Barking and Dagenham community around making food more accessible, healthier and helping our environment. There’s lots of action being taken in the community, and we’d like to hear about it.

Why do we want to hear from you?

• To help promote all the good work around food and sustainability in Barking and Dagenham
• To identify gaps and what we can do better
• To build partnerships and work better together to ensure no one goes hungry

There are lots of ways you can get involved. This also won’t be a one off – this is just the start of the conversation so keep an eye on this page to find out what’s being planned around food over the coming months.
