My Food Community is a community network and leadership development programme building a movement of good food champions which creates, connects and champions change makers to find a holistic understanding of the food system and provides skills and confidence to drive change.
Over the past few years, a spotlight has been shone on the role of community food organisers. They have met challenges, built food resilience, tackled poverty and become activists of a broken food system. The skills, experiences and tools developed through My Food Community (MFC) have helped communities promote sustainable, good food.
I think it’s quite easy when you’re working in a particular place to think there’s only one way of doing things, but at My Food Community, we’re listening to people from Northern Ireland, from Aberdeen, from all across England (and Wales), and we’re learning from each other.
My Food Community is truly a UK wide and community diverse programme, which adds another layer of value to the course and the experience had by so many of the participants. To date My Food Community has welcomed over 150 people from every corner of the UK.
