Low Carbon Bristol: Sustainable Food Cities
Carbon
Low Carbon Bristol
Bristol is one of the UK’s leading cities for sustainable development and home to leading environmental and ethical organisations such as the Soil Association, Triodos Bank and Sustrans.
Food and drink is extremely important and many venues pride themselves on offering a locally sourced menu. Venues such as Watershed are acknowledged for their commitment to high-quality, freshly prepared food using seasonal, local produce. Annual citywide festival Food Connections brings the artisan and slow food revolution to the public through pop-up restaurants, talks and workshops.
Bristol has over 450 beautiful parks and green spaces – proportionally more than any other UK city. This means your delegates are never far away from somewhere to stretch their legs and grab some fresh air. It’s also surrounded by the beautiful countryside of South Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds to the north and North Somerset and the Mendips to the south, with country house hotels, castles and wildlife attractions for events.
Bristol Green Capital Partnership
During 2015, Bristol was European Green Capital – the first UK city to be awarded this prestigious title. An exciting engagement programme for the public was developed, as well as business-led events exploring sustainability and the environment, to share ideas on developing a green future.
Bristol continues to wave the flag for all things green with lots of environmentally minded events and eye-opening tours and talks year-round. We’re widely recognised as the leading Fair Trade city in the UK and home to other inspiring initiatives such as community food growing movement Incredible Edible.
Venues
The city’s venues understand the impact of their business upon the environment and many venues are accredited through programmes such as the Green Tourism Business Scheme (GTBS). Accredited venues include gold award winners Radisson Blu, We The Curious, Mercure Holland House Hotel and the Create Centre. The famous BBC Natural History Unit is also based in Bristol, as is Wildscreen Festival, the world’s largest wildlife and environmental film festival.

Going for Gold: Take action to change food in Bristol for good
Going for Gold is a Bristol-wide bid to be recognised as a Gold Sustainable Food City. Sustainable Food Cities is a national programme that celebrates and supports communities that are making positive changes to their food system. As one of the first three cities to achieve Silver status, Bristol has already shown that it has the motivation to make Good Food part of the city’s identity. Now, individuals, organisations and policy makers are joining together to make big and lasting improvements across six key Food Action Areas. Visit www.goingforgoldbristol.co.uk to find out how you and your organisation can play a part in this major leap towards making food that is good for people, the planet and the city accessible to everyone.
