Business Leaders
Sheffield Sustainability Network
Sheffield Sustainability Network was founded by three local business owners who had begun meeting regularly to exchange ideas on more sustainable ways of working.
Their need for more knowledge and support inspired the creation of SSN, a platform in which local businesses and non-profit organisations can support each other in their goal of becoming more sustainable.

Institute for Sustainable Food
University of Sheffield
At the Institute for Sustainable Food at the University of Sheffield, we are seeking new ways to understand this complexity, addressing the agri-food system as a whole and not just in terms of its separate parts, integrating across the domains of production and consumption and embedding the needs of individual stakeholders from consumers and farmers to the wider business community, NGOs and government.
