Northern Lincolnshire Food Summit

Join us in person at the Northern Lincolnshire Food Summit for tasty talks and local foodie fun! Welcome to the Northern Lincolnshire Food Summit! The Northern Lincolnshire Food Summit is an opportunity for organisations across Northern Lincolnshire to come together to share inspiring practice, discuss key issues, and begin to work together to shift our local food system into one which improves health and wellbeing, environmental sustainability and the local economy. The summit will also mark the launch of North East Lincolnshire’s Food Health Action Plan, alongside a programme of breakout sessions to get involved in. These will explore topics such as how we can bring more volunteers into food projects, how organisations can strengthen their funding applications, as well as opportunities to learn from local food providers through cooking demonstrations. A healthy and sustainable lunch will be provided for all attendees. This free summit will be hosted by the Northern Lincolnshire Food Partnership, a collaborative network bringing organisations together to drive positive changes in our local food system. Whether you are a food manufacturer, retailer, a local food bank, a public sector partner, or just an individual with a keen interest in our local food system, this event is for you!
