Abstract:This study delves into the urgent task of comprehending and tackling the questions arising from climate change and food security by advocating for sustainable community approaches. Motivated by the urgency of these issues, this research aims to assess the transformative ability of sustainable community practices in mitigating carbon emissions and reshaping the current food system. Drawing on findings from semi-structured interviews with local organisers of sustainable community practices in Bournemouth, UK, this study assesses and examines how these practices contribute to a localised sustainable food system. The findings reveal the multifaceted role of sustainable community practices in the UK, highlighting their collaborative nature, emphasis on environmental conservation, and resilience-building initiatives. Despite challenges such as funding constraints and climate change disruptions, sustainable practices demonstrate resilience and offer opportunities for positive change. This article concludes with recommendations that inform policy development and practical applications.
