Somerset Council’s Public Health team has opened a survey which will help to build a picture of the food habits of residents in the county.
The results of the survey will help to the team to plan future projects, including how best to support our communities to live healthy lives.
This forms part of wider engagement with residents and professionals involved in the Somerset food system, aiming to understand local food habits. Insights from the survey will help the Public Health team build a clearer picture of behaviours and attitudes across Somerset.
Councillor Graham Oakes, Somerset Council’s Executive Member for Public Health, Climate Change and Environment said: “The wellbeing of our residents is a priority. By sharing your experiences and views it will help us to better understand our community’s choices and priorities with food. Your views will help us to understand what’s important and how we can help you.
“This is the first time we have done an annual population food survey and we encourage residents to share their experiences with us. It is open to all adults living in Somerset.
“The survey will only take about 15 minutes to complete, and we are offering a chance to win a £100 gift voucher to anyone who responds.”
The Somerset Food Survey is available online to complete. The survey will close on Saturday 31 January 2026.
