Key Pillars of our work
Our mission is changing food policy and business practice to ensure everyone, across our nations, can afford and access a healthy diet.
Improving children’s diets
Too many children live in households experiencing food poverty in the UK. These families often rely on a cheap, poor-quality food which means that child hunger and obesity often coexist. We work to ensure all children can access a healthy diet.

Increasing uptake of plant-rich diets
Shifting diets to be more plant-rich would bring an array of health, environmental and economic benefits to the UK. We work collaboratively with businesses, policymakers, academia, civil society and citizens to make healthy and sustainable plant-rich diets more readily available, affordable and appealing.
Read more on our work here
Influencing food policy
To address the health and climate crises, policy needs to support major dietary shifts – 30% more fruit and vegetables, 50% more fibre, 25% less HFSS food and 30% less meat by 2032. We support leaders to transform food systems.
Read more on our work here
Inspiring change in food businesses and investment
5 out of 11 supermarkets now have targets for healthier food sales. 2 have targets for fruit or vegetable sales and 2 report on sales of animal vs plant proteins. We help make the food industry more transparent so that investors and policy makers can spot the leaders and the laggards.

Why we exist
The Food Foundation was established to understand why the UK food system is failing to deliver the best outcomes for citizens and our planet and to drive change in food policy and business practice to ensure everyone can afford and access healthy and sustainable food.
We know one of the symptoms of a broken food system is that people are unable to access a healthy diet. Diet-related ill health is a major public health issue, impacting people with less resources at a much higher rate.
The food system currently bakes in these inequalities, leading to poorer health outcomes and lower life expectancies for people on lower incomes.
This is not about advocating for individual change, this is about implementing structural and long-term solutions for a fairer, healthier and more sustainable society.
What’s the future for every 100 children born in 2022 if nothing changes?
