Building Nationwide Support for Dynamic Food Procurement

This online event is open to all. It will make the case for the establishment of a national coordination body called Dynamic Purchasing UK (DPUK). DPUK is to be a buying organisation specialising in Dynamic Food Procurement co-founded by - and for the benefit of - anchor institutions in every region of the UK.

Dynamic food procurement within the public sector holds the key to catalysing positive change to address many of the issues caused by today’s food systems. Implementing the technology behind Dynamic Food Procurement is one of the key recommendations from the recently published National Food Strategy. It has the potential to shorten supply chains, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, restore biodiversity and improve food security by sustainably increasing food production through support for regional food producers and suppliers of all sizes. Dynamic food procurement can also trigger tangible regenerative local economic impact due to ‘the triple multiplier effect’.
