Newtownabbey Borough Council and partners are committed to improving the dietary health of local residents. Over the past few years, the council and partners have been working to increase the local evidence base for their food-focused initiatives through monitoring and evaluation.

Current and ongoing profiling of Newtownabbey in terms of nutrition-related activity and population characteristics as well as public consultation activity on food related issues is also continuing, enabling the useful identification of gaps in activity. This should provide a sound basis for future planning of food-based initiatives in what is a very dynamic environment.

The Newtownabbey Food Directory has several main aims. These are:

1. To provide a reference source outlining food retail provision, sources of fresh local produce, and local food initiatives within Newtownabbey.

2. To facilitate the identification of any gaps in provision and unmet food-related needs.

3. To increase awareness of planned food initiatives.
