We’ve been busy looking at your feedback on our second Cornwall Good Food Summit.
More than 100 thinkers and instigators from Cornwall’s sustainable food initiatives got together with voluntary organisations, health workers, chefs, educators and legislators for a day at Nancarrow Farm near Truro.
Lots of you appreciated the cross-sector approach – joining things up, hearing from people outside your sector and highlighting how different parts of the food system interconnect.
But that also meant there was a lot to pack in and made for a busy schedule.
A good number of you wouldn’t change anything about the day. However many asked for more time for discussion and more break-out sessions, focusing on specific issues or sectors.
A smaller number asked for joint action planning and co-creation.
Some of you told us about new connections that will directly impact your work, or will catalyse new projects.
So next time we’ll find additional ways of using this unique opportunity to bring together Cornwall’s wider food system and share good food work across the board.
We agree that we must create more and better opportunities for everyone to participate actively.
We’ll create more time and space to ‘dig in’ to issues in more depth and involve everyone more fully.
Like last time, the opportunity for networking and to connect with others – both people you already know and others you’ve never met before – was hugely valued.
A number of you would like extra time for networking so we’ll definitely factor this in.

We asked you to ‘sum up the Summit’ in three words and these came up most often.
