Partnership structure

Steering Group

The Devon Food Partnership brings together key stakeholders from across Devon’s food system into a steering group. The role of the steering group is to inspire, support, and connect action around the county. A wide range of organisations are represented on the steering group:Devon Food Partnership structure showing in order 'steering group', 'local authority sub-group', 'task groups', and 'wider stakeholders'.

Working groups

The Devon Food Partnership includes three working groups: Food Insecurity; Food in Schools and Food Economy. Please find out more about our Working Groups here.

The existing Devon Agri-Tech Alliance (DATA) also works very closely with the DFP. This group is a voice for farmers, furthering best practice using new technologies, regenerative methods and science to build a more sustainable farming environment.

Outside of Devon

The Devon Food Partnership is part of a Peninsula Partnership with Cornwall, Plymouth and Torbay, producing collaborative projects across the boarder and sharing knowledge.

We are always keen to facilitate more joined-up working across different organisations, locations, and groups. So, if you have a project and are looking to link up with other partners, get in touch as we would love to hear about it.
