Will Work for Food

Our vision is simple – a fair, healthy and sustainable food system – one that safeguards planetary health (that is both the health of our earth and all its inhabitants), for now and into the future. To achieve that, our mission is to work across sectors to build strategies, foster partnerships, create shared value and deliver a positive social impact. Our approach is emergent, innovative and creative – we thrive on working in the ‘grey space’.

Please look through our services and past projects for an idea of our expertise and experience, while at the same time recognising that today’s challenges urgently need new thinking. If what you have in mind is not covered here, please reach out and contact us. We welcome making new connections in this vibrant movement for change.

Key Services

We work with complex and wide-ranging food policy issues. Our aim is to make practical and useable sense of the evidence base and expert opinion, to produce new or strengthened, impactful policy recommendations.

Our experience includes desk research and literature reviews, expert and stakeholder interviews, roundtable organisation and facilitation, policy development, consultation, implementation, auditing and evaluation. We have also developed industry-leading quality standards for businesses looking to push the boundaries of their commitments on food issues.

We achieve early clarity on project goals and success measures, and then work deliberatively to chart the most effective route to achieving a desired outcome for clients.

Our broad experience in strategy development has led to the generation of progressive product improvement programs for businesses and public agencies, thought leadership work for non-profits, and cross-sector collective impact projects.

We bring the technical expertise and experience needed to coordinate complex multi-stage projects and programs from ideation through to post-implementation evaluation.

We have managed projects of all sizes, from a £30 million product improvement program that impacted over 9,000 products, to the development of a collaborative multi-sector stakeholder network to improve food retail practices utilising the principles of systems leadership.

We would welcome the opportunity to connect about your next project and explore where together, we can deliver a change for food.
