International food partnerships

Milan Urban Food Policy Pact (MUFPP) Global Alliance

Launched by the Milan Municipality in 2015, the Milan Urban Food Policy Pact is an international agreement among cities from all over the world, committed "to develop sustainable food systems that are inclusive, resilient, safe and diverse, that provide healthy and affordable food to all people in a human rights-based framework, that minimize waste and conserve biodiversity while adapting to and mitigating impacts of climate change”.

Its main aim is to support cities wishing to develop more sustainable urban food systems by fostering city to city cooperation and best practices exchange.

Birmingham Joined the Milan Urban Food Policy Pact in 2015 and received awards for six different practices, from our COVID-19 Emergency Food Response to our Birmingham Food Conversation project.

Birmingham City Council is also a member of the 2022 steering committee for the Milan Urban Food Policy Pact, demonstrating our ability to influence and take a leadership role global for our work in Food Systems.
