Edinburgh’s Food Economy

Creating a thriving economy with greater diversity in local food production and distribution.

As a business you can support our food economy by taking the following actions:

  • Choose local, seasonal, organic produce
  • Support high animal welfare standards
  • Explore ways that your procurement or buying systems can support local businesses
  • Can your meals include a higher proportion of vegetables?
  • If you serve food, highlight where your produce comes from to those who eat it
  • Take steps to reduce food waste across your organisation
  • Make sure you meet the Waste (Scotland) Regulations – recycle unavoidable food waste
  • Redistribute food wherever possible, check out Fareshare
  • Avoid and recycle packaging
