The UK Food Group
The UK’s principal civil society network on global food and farming issues
The UK Food Group focuses its work on key international food, agriculture and related environmental issues. These include the need for a just, coherent, equitable and sustainable food system that serves the interests of, especially small-scale, food providers, consumers and the environment, particularly in poor, rural areas of the Global South. The network comprises more than 35 organisations.
The UK Food Group represents Bond on global food and farming issues.
It plays an important role in extending the discussion on key food and farming
issues among members, other UK NGO networks as well as at the European level,
including CONCORD’s
European Food Security Group, and internationally.
It organises World Food Day events or actions in the UK in October each year. It
also holds seminars and conducts research
With European and African partners the UK Food Group participates in a European consortium project. Entitled ‘Agro-food policies and regional integration: for a practice of solidarity between Europe and Africa’ this project aims to raise awareness about regional food, agriculture policies and models of production.
The UK Food Group’s website is at www.ukfg.org.uk. It also hosts information listserves on global food and farming issues; agricultural production technology and trade; agrofuels; and food sovereignty.
