Advice on Circular Food Systems in Bristol
Practical support rooted in real systems, not theory.
Generation Soil provides advice and practical support on circular food systems in Bristol.
We work with households, schools, businesses, councils, and community organisations to redesign how food waste, soil, and food production function together at a local level.
Our advice is grounded in lived experience and working infrastructure, not abstract models.
What we mean by circular food systems
A circular food system:
• Keeps food waste local
• Returns nutrients to soil
• Supports local food growing
• Reduces reliance on extractive systems
• Builds resilience at community scale
At Generation Soil, circularity isn’t a concept.
It’s something we build, test, and operate every day in Bristol.

Why local, place-based systems matter
Circular food systems work best when they are:
• Rooted in place
• Community-led
• Appropriately scaled
• Built on real relationships
Bristol’s food system is unique. Our advice reflects local infrastructure, behaviour, and opportunity rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.
