This dissertation examines the role of local authorities in implementing food policy in the UK. It argues that while national government sets food policy priorities, local councils are responsible for interpreting and enacting these policies. The research explores the many functions of local government and how they interact with food policy. Through a literature review and interviews with local government officials, the dissertation highlights areas of policy coherence and incoherence. The author identifies key success factors for food policy interventions, such as adequate funding, political leadership, and strong partnerships. The research concludes that a more coordinated and collaborative approach to food policy across different levels of government is essential for achieving a successful and sustainable food system.
