Two leading organisations join forces to highlight importance of buying British produce
Abstract
Soil Association’s Food for Life programme and Love British Food have announced they will support each other’s missions to achieve 'good food for all in the public sector, hospitality and beyond'.

In a statement they have said: "With a deep synergy between both organisations', together they will advocate for shorter, more sustainable supply chains to make British food a central part of schools, hospitals and other settings."

Alexia Robinson, chief executive of Love British Food, said: “We are delighted that Food for Life’s sustainable catering team has approached Love British Food proposing that we collaborate to further both our organisations' activities.

“I am excited, in particular, that Food for Life schools will now be invited to take part in British Food Fortnight, joining the hundreds of schools that already run special menus for children during the national food celebrations.”

She said the 2025 edition of British Food Fortnight was scheduled to take place from 26th September to 12th October.

"British Food Fortnight 2025 will be bigger than ever, with more celebrations taking place in communities and organisations through the UK."

Amit Dattani, director of healthy and sustainable diets at the Soil Association, added: “It’s a great time to join forces with Love British Food to amplify the work that both charities are doing to put more fresh, minimally processed, British food on the plates of the nation.

“We look forward to collaborating with each other to strengthen our combined calls for change across the food industry and support caterers and suppliers to access our homegrown produce.”
