Sustainability Steering Group

The Sustainability Steering Group has been created to support IFST in translating the issues, sharing updates on developments and providing outputs relating to sustainability. They propose relevant policy, positions & recommendations, signpost to credible resources created by others, and where relevant recommend the development of additional complimentary IFST resources to raise awareness, facilitate understanding and equip members and the wider food sector to integrate and implement sustainability measures across the entire food lifecycle, including risk management, linking outputs to UN SDG.

Committee Members: Claire Abbott, Liat Adler, Julian Cooper, Ian Finlayson, Kaarin Goodburn, Rachel Hackett, Hilary Hamer, Martin Howarth, Purity Hrisca, Bonnie Joplin, Richard Marshall, Wayne Martindale, Christian Reynolds.

2019 Formal Response: Response to DEFRA Critical Priorities Food System Sustainability

We value the important contribution that volunteers bring to the work and life of the Institute. Without the contribution of the volunteers who serve on committees, branches and special interest groups, we would find it difficult to achieve the strategic priorities set out by the Board of Trustees. The Impact Award is an opportunity for volunteers to showcase an innovative activity that has been undertaken that meets the set criteria.
