Consultation Response - Local Food in Scotland

Tuesday, 29 April 2008

Forward Scotland's response to the Scottish Governments discussion Choosing the Right Ingredients - The Future for Food in Scotland 2008. Forward Scotland welcomes the discussion on the future for food in Scotland and commends the government for bringing into focus for the first time the complexity of issues that revolve around the food we grow and eat.We believe that the discussion will solicit evidence and recommendations from a wide range of organisations, business and communities to the Scottish Government that will call for a coherent and ambitious policy for food in Scotland.A food policy that recognises a role for local food can provide a framework that enables the realisation of the opportunity that it presents for progress towards a more sustainable society. Local food benefits the local economy through support for local producers, it can provide viable long-term employment and maintain employment particularly in rural communities, and it can engage people in healthier lifestyles and reduce the carbon footprint of the food we consume.
