Good Food Economy

The Good Food Economy is dedicated to building a diverse and vibrant food economy that treats producers, customers, workers and nature well.

A Resilient, Thriving Local Economy

At ShefFood, we believe that making good food a defining feature of Sheffield starts with a thriving, sustainable food economy. From farmers and producers to retailers and caterers, local food businesses play a vital role in shaping a healthier, more resilient city.

By placing good food entrepreneurs at the heart of economic development and championing them to consumers, we make it easier for people to choose fresh, sustainable, and ethical food. In turn, this approach creates jobs, supports independent businesses, and helps regenerate high streets and city centres—ensuring that good food benefits everyone in Sheffield.
