Our Projects
At the Open Food Network UK, we believe that collaboration is key to achieving our vision of building a better food system for all. That’s why we work closely with other like-minded organisations to share our knowledge and resources to maximise our impact.
We work in partnership with a diverse range of organisations including farmers’ cooperatives, third sector organisations, advocacy groups, and sustainable food initiatives. By leveraging our collective expertise and strengths we work to address the challenges embedded in our current food system.
