CAMPAIGNS -
York and national
Veg
Cities
is
a
feature
campaign
of
Sustainable
Food
Cities
(SFC),
led
by
food
and
farming
charity
Sustain
in
partnership
with
the
wider
Peas
Please
initiative.
The
aim
of
Veg
Cities
is
to
increase
availability
and
consumption
of
vegetables.
Food
partnerships
and
local
authorities
can
achieve
this
by
working
with
a
range
of
local
businesses
and
organisations,
from
convenience
stores
to
schools
and
local
markets,
in
six
different areas:
Promote veg
through marketing work, public facing campaigns, challenges and competitions
Improve
access
to
veg
through
an
increase
in
the
lines
available
in
retail,
in
out
of
school
activities
and to those particularly in need
Promote
growing,
cooking
and
eating
through
support
to
food
growing
and
investment
in
training
and skills
Support
local
businesses
to
increase
veg
on
offer
through
access
to
land,
in
planning,
business
rate
relief or other policy tools
Transform
catering
and
procurement
by
getting
at
least
two
portions
of
veg
in
every
meal
of
local
restaurants and caterers
Reduce
waste
through
monitoring,
redistribution
of
surplus
and
roadshows,
workshops
and
city-wide
campaigns
The
SFC
Veg
Cities
campaign
links
with
the
Peas
Please
initiative
which
aims
to
secure
commitments
from
industry
and
government
to
improve
the
availability,
acceptability
(including
convenience),
affordability,
and
quality
of
the
vegetable
offer
in
shops,
schools,
fast
food
restaurants
and
beyond.
This
will,
in
turn,
stimulate
increased
vegetable
consumption
among
the
UK
public,
particularly
children
and
those
on
a
low
income. Veg Cities works as the local expression of this national project.
