Food in Islington

The way we grow or buy food, what we choose to eat, and how we dispose of any food waste all have an impact on our health and the environment. Islington Council, NHS Islington and a wide range of community groups and businesses across the borough are working to increase access to healthy, affordable and sustainable food in Islington.

To find out how we are working with our partners across Islington read our Food Strategy and Action Plan
