Accelerating regional food systems change: Lessons from a FixOurFood knowledge exchange event

In October 2025, FixOurFood and the Centre for Food Policy, City St George’s, Universityof London, hosted an international knowledge exchange event to explore opportunities to strengthen and accelerate regional food systems change. Our aim was to share and learn across diverse organisations navigating regional food policy and practice in different contexts. The event highlighted the opportunities and challenges of taking more regional approaches to developing and implementing regional (sub-national) food policy and wider food systems change.
