A Seat at the Table: Becoming a Good Food Nation is Everyone's Business
Today the Scottish Food Coalition released a report on their Kitchen Table talks and launched a call for action
Between February and April 2018, over 800 people discussed the future of Scotland’s food system in Kitchen Table Talks. Conversations took place from the Scottish borders to the Shetland Islands, around dinner tables, in town halls, community gardens and allotments, at Universities and places of worship.
Kitchen Table Talks made clear that people care about the future of Scotland’s food and have strong views on what the Scottish Government could do to transform the food system. The findings from these talks have been written up into a report that is available online.
Following on from this report's clear evidence for the huge public appetite for a national conversation on the future of food in Scotland, the Scottish Food Coalition have just launched a petition to call on the First Minister of Scotland to launch the consultation on the Good Food Nation Bill.
If you would like to find out more about the Good Food Nation Bill, the Nourish Scotland website has a number of free resources.
