The Food for Life Partnership is a five-year Big Lottery-funded initiative, led by the Soil Association, to transform food culture in schools and communities across England, bringing together the practical expertise of the Focus on Food Campaign, Garden Organic and the Health Education Trust. The aim is to reach out through schools to give communities access to seasonal, local and organic food, and to the skills they need to cook and grow fresh food for themselves.
The evaluation is being led by a team from the Centre for Public Health Research supported by Kevin Morgan and Adrian Morley, researchers from Cardiff University. The evaluation draws upon both qualitative and quantitative methods to evaluate transformation across the schools and communities involved in this national programme.
Duration: July 2007 – December 2011
