“As Chair of the Public Sector Catering Alliance, I’m acutely aware of the need to ensure that public food not only provides the best quality, nutritious meals that we can to patients, pupils, care home residents and students, but in doing so we need to be mindful of the impact we can have on a range of issues, such as leveraging local supply chains, supporting community wealth building, helping to address climate change and biodiversity loss and tackling the consequences of poverty and health inequalities. In short, working to create a more sustainable, equitable and inclusive food system for all.

The work Equilibrium Markets delivers, including AgileChain, shows that they are not only working to support public caterers to deliver systems change, but are on the cutting edge of thinking and action to help caterers to do so. They do this without losing sight of people: of caterers, producers, suppliers and recipients of public food, who remain at the forefront of their thinking.”
