 The Sustainable Food Cities approach is a tried and tested model for driving

positive change which involves the 3 Ps – PARTNERSHIP / POLICY / PLAN

 Establishing an effective cross-sector Food Partnership  Getting the right people involved in the right way, its important to establish a

cross-sector food partnership that brings together key stakeholders willing to work together for positive change.

 Embedding healthy and sustainable food in Policy  Work to put food at the heart of policy. There are opportunities to make healthy

and sustainable food the norm in many areas from procurement and health and wellbeing to economic development and urban planning

 Developing and delivering a food strategy and Action Plan 

Developing a collaborative, ambitious but achievable food strategy and action plan is vital if you want to create an integrated city-wide programme that delivers more than the sum of its parts.

The SDG’s and Six SFC Themes

1 – Promoting healthy and sustainable food to the public (PHA, Making Life Better, FSA, Caloriewise / BFN / Breastfeeding campaigns) 2 - Tackling food poverty, diet-related ill-health and access to affordable healthy food (Childhood Obesity Strategy / Enough is Enough, BFN secured £1.6 million for Community Shops pilots across NI / Living Wage) 3 - Building community food knowledge, skills, resources and projects (Cooking Courses, Grow your

• wn, community gardens, spade to spoon initiatives)

4 - Promoting a vibrant and diverse sustainable food economy (Sustainable Food Directory, Farmers Markets, Box Schemes, Taste Adventures, Advice) 6 Reducing waste and the ecological footprint of the food system (Feed the City, Household Food waste collection, sustainable 5 Transforming catering and food agriculture, community supported procurement ( Sustainable Fish agriculture, Campaign, Food in Schools Policy local food systems) Hospitals Healthy meal plans)

SDG Roadshow 2018 Making Global Goals Local Business What’s The Council Doing on SDGs?

It all begins……….with Strategic intent! Council’s Corporate Plan:

– Corporate Vision: “Ards and North Down will be a place to be proud of which is more prosperous, vibrant, healthy, sustainable and where people enjoy an excellent quality of life”. – Provides a framework for all other Council strategies and plans; ‘operationalising’ our contribution to attainment of SDGs.

Why is the Council’s role in achieving Sustainable Development Goals so important?

– Council is a major employer in the Borough, with around 850 employees and an annual budget of over £50 million. – The ‘direct’ social, economic and environmental impact of the Council as a major employer and service provider is very significant. – The ‘indirect’ social, economic and environmental impact of the Council in the Borough is also large – having a wider influence on the behaviour/impact of its local business and resident communities. – Ards and North Down Borough Council aims not only to pursue SDGs itself, but to be an ‘exemplar’ in that regard for the whole Borough.

Examples of Council Delivery on SDGs

• Sustainable Waste Resource Management Strategy:

– Leading on comprehensive approach to recycling of household food waste – In three years, moved from bottom to top end of Council recycling performance (39% in 2014/15 to 53% in 2017/18) – Reforming trade waste services

• Sustainable Procurement:

– Adopted a policy of removing single use plastics from Council operations, now being incorporated in procurement processes and rules for service delivery.

• Sustainable Business Processes:

– ISO14001 Environmental Management System Accreditation – Business in the Community Northern Ireland Environmental Benchmarking Survey – Gold Award in 2017

• Promoting Sustainable Lifestyles:

– Expansion and development of ‘Greenway’ network across the Borough – Achievement and promotion of Fairtrade Borough status – Pursue ‘Refill’ Borough status – Car parking strategy – promoting sustainable transport choices, including expansion of Electric Vehicle charging network

• Empowering Local Communities:

– Recycling Community Investment Fund – repaying landfill tax savings directly back to communities. – ‘Live Here Love Here’ Borough – NI Amenity Council ‘Best Kept Awards’
