Food policy coherence in local government: Who does what and why?

Rob Kidd and Christian Reynolds

Food Policy, 2024, vol. 129, issue C

Abstract: In the UK, food policy is often made by national government, but typically interpreted and implemented by councils. This research explores which local government functions are involved in food policy, how they work together and how coherent their policy positions are. It builds on earlier work to map the food policy actors at national government level and to understand local government’s many functions.
