Since early 2025 Sustainable Food Places (SFP) has been working to broaden the scope of our representation and justice work and establish a new Diversity, Equity and Inclusion ethos that includes race but recognises other factors that can lead to underrepresentation, discrimination and exclusion.  

FAIR food is SFP’s Framework for Action on Inclusion and Representation – co-developed by and for local food partnerships through a series of Listening Sessions and participatory Co-development Workshops.  

FAIR food:  

• sets out 12 key principles of the FAIR food ethos,  
• prioritises 4 key underrepresented and minoritised groups to focus on, and  
• provides a structured framework for action around organisational culture, practice, and people.  

FAIR food will be incorporated into SFP’s guidance, resources and tools, backed up by training and action planning support, embedded within our membership and awards criteria, and celebrated through the FAIR food STAR, recognising and celebrating significant achievements focused on representation and Justice. 

All of this will be introduced and explained at our FAIR food Launch webinar on 4th March
