The National Lottery Community Fund has launched a major new funding opportunity to strengthen food systems and reduce food insecurity, with grants of over £2.5 million over 3-7 years. They are looking to fund partnerships that take agroecological approaches and drive systems change in how food is grown and produced, how it’s distributed, and how people and communities access healthy, affordable food.

A key feature of this call is the emphasis on partnerships across the food system, particularly at community and local level. We heard from several AFN Members who were keen to find collaborators, so we put on a virtual networking session on the 12th March to help make those connections happen.

If you’d like to view the slide-set we populated with everyone who was looking to make connections then please get in touch.
