Grants of up to £5,000 are open to any local food partnership, local authority or community group in the UK, to help communities tackle food and climate change.

Launched by Sustain as part of the Food for the Planet project, the grants aim to support communities to campaign and advocate to make food in their area better for people and the planet.

Applicants are encouraged to propose their own ideas for local action, but should focus on areas that have a big impact locally, such as:

encouraging and celebrating climate-friendly food in public institutions and council settings
growing more sustainable and healthy food, especially in urban fringes
tackling unfair and unhelpful pricing and advertising of the most climate-damaging foods
supporting groups and communities that are marginalised to campaign for food climate justice and tackling racial injustice in the food system
divesting from industrial agriculture

The deadline for applications is 5pm on Friday 15^th April.

To apply, or for further information, please visit the Sustain website.
