Food Futures is a partnership that embraces a wide range of individuals and organisations with an interest in improving food in the city. Its ambitious goal is to create a culture of good food in the city, based on the belief that good food is enjoyable, safe, nutritious, environmentally sustainable, and produced ethically and fairly; and that everyone in Manchester has a right to good food – no-one should have this right denied because of where they live, their income or their background. The Food Futures strategy embraces the whole food agenda for the city – from improving health, tackling health inequalities and reducing the environmental impact of food, to building sustainable communities and strengthening the local economy.

Although the health benefits of eating fish are clear, with over fishing, depleting stocks and environmentally degrading fishing methods, it is difficult to know what species to eat with a clear conscience.  The Marine Conservation Society have produced the Good Fish Guide to advise which species to eat, which to avoid, including the reasons not to eat them.
