About Us
What is Food Vision?
Food Vision started in 2000 as a project to promote local initiatives that increase access to safe, sustainable and nutritious food and so improve community health and wellbeing.
What are Food Visions aims?
The Food Vision website acts as an information portal for local authorities, health professionals, community groups and others interested in food and health.
It aims to promote the good work being done on healthy food initiatives and raise the profile of the contribution of various local authority services to the food agenda.
It also provides useful case studies and guidance enabling organisations to save time and resources by following successful models and learning from others.
Who supports Food Vision?
Food Vision is a joint project run by LACORS and the Food Standards Agency, and Chartered Institute of Environmental Health and is supported by the Local Government Association and IDe&A.
