Slow Food Sussex is relaunching!
Why now?
The creation of a pan-Sussex layer of government in 2026 creates a raft of potential opportunities and threats for food producers, small businesses and food related initiatives in a way that we have never seen before in either East or West Sussex. This is compounded by the wholescale reorganisation of local government to create three unitary authorities underneath the overarching pan-Sussex entity. Access to decision makers about planning and all other critical decision making will change, not necessarily for the better. Slow Food Sussex has an opportunity to become a single point of influence active on behalf of its members and the principles of Slow Food.
