We've already had a whistle-stop tour today through some brilliant businesses creatively embedding #foodcitizenship principles in their practices but there are ever more to choose from!

Some others not to be missed: Image
1. @SoleShare is the first community-supported fishery in the UK, connecting small-scale, ethical fisherfolk to citizens. Also working with local food charities and independent business, they are strengthening the link between the sea and the city.

2. @BHBakeryE8 is a social enterprise providing training placements for those distanced from employment due to mental ill-health & so empowering citizens, giving purpose and building a community through food.

3. We've always loved @BrewDog & their innovative shareholder approach, reframing how people could engage with the brand, as shareholders and fellow beer lovers with a shared purpose.

4. @coopuk is a member-owned co-op and food retailer paving the way for ethical business-making. This is all about empowering your audience & seeing them for what they are – an engaged, creative, resourceful cohort that cares about people & the planet.

5. @impacthubkc's Feeding the City is not a business itself but a programme & network providing young food start-ups & orgs a 6-month incubation programme.
This is what we need to get those emerging #foodcitizenship businesses off the ground!

As #FoodCitizenship organisations we believe in the power of…

1. PEOPLE
It is people doing practical everyday activities that transform people’s lives and the neighbourhoods in which they live.

We all have within us the capacity to create change around us. Image
2. FOOD
Growing, cooking, eating and sharing food are powerful ways in which food brings us together. Food is the foundation of life.
3. INCLUSIVITY
Everyone brings something of value to the community. Everyone matters.

The world of business is transforming. There is a growing challenge to the narrative of profit at all cost. More orgs are shifting towards alternative purpose-led business models, like members' coops, community interest companies (CICs), employee-owned or crowd-funded businesses. Image
All these models place a greater importance on the connection between the people running the business and the people benefiting from its products and services....
They also create an opportunity to treat their stakeholders, from suppliers to employees and customers, as food citizens, inviting everyone to work together to create systems that benefit us all...
