One Knowsley as part of the VS6 Partnership would like to invite you to the second Liverpool City Region Affordable and Sustainable Food Assembly event on Thursday 16 June.
This event follows on from the first Sustainable and Affordable Food Assembly (2020) held with the voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) sector and hosted by VS6 in collaboration with LCR Combined Authority which explored the issues and challenges facing LCR in developing access to sustainable and healthy food, particularly through the lens of COVID-19.
Following the 2020 Assembly, Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram committed to developing a food poverty strategy for LCR within his 2021 election manifesto. The LCR Combined Authority are working with VS6 and the VCFSE sector again to undertake further engagement with organisations working to improve the offer of affordable and sustainable food with a view to helping develop a Food Poverty Reduction Strategy for LCR.
Attendees at the event will have the opportunity to provide their expert insights into how we can develop a more accessible and sustainable food system across LCR that will form the initial development of an LCR Food Poverty Reduction Strategy. Additionally, attendees will also be updated on progress of the previous assembly recommendations from 2020, VS6 work so far on mapping community food organisations across LCR and have an opportunity to be a part of the development of an LCR Food Network.
