Working together to transform our food system in Gateshead to ensure that everyone has access to delicious and nutritious food that doesn’t cost the earth.

Too many people in Gateshead are not able to afford or access good food. 

Too many people are suffering from poor health and preventable disease directly related to the food they eat.

The food we grow, produce, and distribute is significantly contributing to climate change and lasting environmental damage. 

We know we can do better for Gateshead. 


Improving our food system can reduce inequalities, improve our health and mental wellbeing, protect and restore our environment, and help Gateshead thrive.

About us 

Gateshead Food Partnership is a collaboration of local people and organisations looking at a joined up, whole system approach to make delicious, nutritious, culturally appropriate, and environmentally sustainable food affordable and accessible for everyone in Gateshead.
