Local food legends
The Birmingham Food System Strategy sets out our vision to:
- create a fair, sustainable and prosperous food system and economy
- ensure food options are nutritious, affordable and desirable so everyone can thrive
Empowering and energising citizens to join the Birmingham Food Revolution is key to achieving our aims. The strategy highlights some of our local food legends and recognises their role in influencing it.
We want to champion and showcase the many citizens, organisations, businesses and partners that are making a real difference in the city's food system. They have been leading the way for many years, and it is time to “Be Bold, Be Proud” of our quiet food legends. They are an inspiration that we can all learn from and empower others to be local legends too.
