Conclusion
Local projects to support access to healthier foods are doing fantastic work in their communities and seeing real results, using local knowledge and building strong community relationships to drive change. Community projects need to be a core part of any work to address the challenges in the food system and the government needs to better recognise their value by providing them with secure, long-term funding. While we welcome that Pride in Place funding can be used for projects that support low-income families to access healthy foods, given the large range of interventions this programme can support, we do not believe that it should be the main mechanism to finance these projects.
