Now the Scottish Government aims to build on that success with Becoming a Good Food Nation, a discussion document that seeks views on how to improve Scotland’s relationship with food through:

Creating a Scottish Food Commission to champion the importance of food to Scotland’s health, environment, economy and quality of life
Promoting good food choices to consumers, enlisting the support of retailers, food producers and public bodies
Having Scotland’s public sector lead by example with the NHS, local authorities and Scottish Government signing up to offer fresh, seasonal, local and sustainable produce
Developing a specific children’s food policy in recognition of the impact of food on the health of young people and their ability to influence society’s behaviour for generations to come
Working with communities to encourage the production and sale of more locally grown food
Realising the economic benefits of a better domestic food culture for Scotland’s food and drink sector.
