How do Food Ladders fit with other models?
Food Ladders is not a silver bullet. The approach is designed to complement a range of existing frameworks and models. Here are some recommendations for complementary approaches and resources.
| Organisation | Description |
|---|---|
| Sustainable Food Places (SFP) | SFPs are a network of food partnerships that drive innovation and best practices on all aspects of healthy and sustainable food. This is a network of networks led by the Soil Association, Food Matters and Sustain. They provide videos, infographics, guides, policy documents and reports. Local areas can demonstrate their attainment by achieving bronze, silver, and gold awards. |
| Building Blocks of Health | A framing for understanding (public) health that focuses on a range of ‘building blocks’ (often called the wider determinants of health) that aim to make conversations about public health more engaging, accessible, and powerful. |
| Dignity in Practice | A set of principles, case studies, guides, and activity plans to help centre dignity in approaches to food security, created by Nourish Scotland alongside groups of people with lived experience of food insecurity. |
| Feeding Britain | Feeding Britain are a network of community organisations and partnerships. They work with regional and local partners to pilot and implement innovative ways to improve people’s access to food. Their What Works Centre has guides and case studies available for download. |
| Food Ethics Council | The Food Ethics Council’s work on Food Citizenship aims to help shift away from thinking about ourselves as food consumers to food citizens. They also have a toolkit for shifting that language. |
| What Works Centre for Local Economic Growth | Provides impact evaluations, delivers training and free evidence and evaluation resources, including a briefing on assessing the local economic impacts of local procurement. |
