The Community Eatwell scheme is one of the few initiatives recommended in Henry Dimbleby’s National Food Strategy independent review that is definitely due to go ahead. In this Policy Insight, Victoria Williams draws on her experience of piloting and assessing community food initiatives to examine the proposed Community Eatwell programme. This paper examines why Community Eatwell needs to be part of a larger ‘jigsaw’ of policy interventions, and must avoid duplicating or undermining existing food policy interventions.
