Joy Carey presents about the experience of Bristol in its drive towards reaching a food for life gold status for the City, cementing previous healthy eating and local food projects. Dr Kelly Parsons discusses her research about the complex ways in which food policy is enacted in the UK.

Chat Transcript:
00:23:20 Matt Reed - CCRI host: Hi Everyone, please feel free to post your questions as we go,
00:24:26 Nick: Just to remind others that we will add this to the CCRI channel. The group chat should also be available as well to add context.
00:26:47 CCRI: Jasmine Black: More on sustainable food 'places': [ Ссылка ]
00:37:12 Nick James: Are allotments involved; as in the many hundreds of people on many allotment sites across the city? Plus City Farms, e.g. St Werburgh's and BPG (Bristol Permaculture Group)?
00:39:54 Rebecca Sandover: Hi Joy, Thanks, this is really interesting. I’ve got 2 questions. Can you say how Bristol is able to address food equality, in particular how you’re bringing in a range of voices, including those with lived experiences to address this? 2nd Question: Can you say more about how processes of engagement with decision makers have taken place? How important is this to making systemic change?
00:41:07 Lara: What engagement with suppliers, growers and cafes, etc?
00:43:59 julie: Thanks Joy, there’s lots of great work going on in Bristol which is really inspirational. I’m in Gloucestershire and interested which isn’t currently part of the Sustainable Food places network. I’m interested to link with others locally. Do you know of any key organisations in this region that are working in the sustainable food movement? Thanks
00:44:05 Beth: Really interesting work, thank you for your talk Joy! Just wondering about the initiative to increase healthy cooking - are there initiatives targeting adults as well as children? I remember an initiative in Plymouth was providing free veg bags but in conjunction with recipes and I think training events? Sort of addressing the issue of 'what do I do with this thing?' and broaden veg consumption beyond basic recipes?
00:53:23 Nick James: How is the National Food Strategy going?
00:56:26 Nick James: In terms of policy, are there considerations to add local government [county and district] in the governance and responsibility? In that political zone between National and local.
00:59:39 Matt Reed - CCRI host: Jasmine is scooping
00:59:45 Rob Booth: hi kelly, really interesting research thank you, i was wondering to what extent you think there is a problem not just of policy but also of politics - is it the case that the appetite for joined up approaches to the food system isn’t there because food related problems are understood politically by MPs and ministers in particular as something best tackled via the market? from my experience in the civil service, policymakers are very aware of these problems and their work suffers as a result of it but the political appetite isnt there for this kind of systemic governance. departments have also faced cuts and the food standards agency is under pressure. if this is the case do you think it is changing with the national food strategy etc?
01:05:05 CCRI: Jasmine Black: Question for Kelly - how much do decisions end up being down to one or two people in policy?
01:11:50 Rhiannon-Jane Raftery: good meeting sorry have to leave now thanks
01:13:12 Joy Carey: @Beth there will be a new blog posted later this week on cooking and the FOOD clubs (the 16th launched this week) [ Ссылка ]
