Scotland Begins Public Discussion on Food Policy



Scotland is setting out on a novel task - to develop a coherent food policy. It has just released a discussion paper to begin a national conversation on how to go about such an ambitious pursuit. The paper highlights its vision for a food policy that looks at all aspects of the food chain. It seeks to promote health and access to healthy food options for all segments of the population, encouraging the population to be interested in food and ask questions about where it comes from while also contributing to a strong and environmentally sustainable food industry. The discussion paper invites public commentary through a variety of fora which will help determine the content of the policy. Click here for the website of the Government of Scotland.
