The successful organisation will also manage and support Birmingham City Council's existing international and national level food projects and partnerships such as:

o Delice - an international network focussing on the economic development and cultural approach to food including:
o how cities can preserve and showcase their food heritage
o how cities can attract qualitative food entrepreneurs that will offer a qualitative food scene to citizens and visitors
o how cities can bring sustainability to their food sector and push local food consumption
o Childhood Obesity Trailblazer - a council-led project in England to tackle childhood obesity at a local level, with a focus on inequalities. It aims to:
o test the limits of existing powers through innovative and determined action to tackle childhood obesity
o share learning and best practice to encourage wider local action
o develop solutions to local obstacles and consider further actions government can take to enable ambitious local action and achieve change at scale
