Choosing the Right Ingredients - Have Your Say
19 February 2008
In Autumn 2007, the Scottish Parliament agreed with the Scottish Government that a national food policy is needed for Scotland.
There is an emerging consensus that a national policy would help ensure a more joined-up approach to food in Scotland, covering every part of the food chain from farm gate to plate.
It would provide a long-term direction and vision for the industry, realising the full potential of Scotland's food for the benefit of everyone.
A national discussion has been set up as the first step towards making that proposal a reality. This will take into account all aspects of food from health and education to the economy and tourism, sourcing more Scottish food through public procurement, and making healthier food more accessible to all in Scotland.
The discussion paper 'Choosing the Right Ingredients' sets out the Scottish Government's vision for food in Scotland and invites you to help shape the future by telling us what you think - where should we be going? How might we get there? What to we all need to do?
