Bringing sustainable local food to the heart of Oxford 

OxFarmToFork is a collaborative project led by Good Food Oxfordshire that connects Oxfordshire’s institutions directly with local agroecological food producers. By simplifying the supply chain, we empower producers, enhance food security, and help institutions source sustainable, local produce that supports our community and planet. Every stakeholder fully commits to our ethos and signs our Charter.

Our Journey So Far 

OxFarmToFork is making strides to revolutionise the Oxfordshire food system. Here's a quick summary of our journey: 

We Support Local Producers 

Shorter supply chains mean producers earn a fairer share of the value, ensuring their livelihoods thrive. (We also provide funding for OxFarmToFork producers, using one-off joining fees paid by buyers, to enable infrastructural growth to increase production.) 

It Enhances Food Security 

By prioritising local produce, we reduce dependency on imports from climate-vulnerable regions, strengthening regional food security. 

Boosting the Local Economy 

For every £1 spent on local produce, £2.50 is generated in social, economic, and environmental value, driving prosperity for our communities. 

Promoting Biodiversity and Sustainability 

Agroecological farming practices nurture soil health, promote biodiversity, and reduce emissions and food waste. 

Ultimately, we are transforming local food systems with agroecological innovation.
