Funds available to make Scotland a ‘Good Food Nation’

4th July 2016 by Erin Gray

The Scottish Government will be inviting applications for the Fair Food Transformation Fund from Monday 27 June 2016 until Monday 18 July 2016. The Fund is part of the £1 million-a-year Fair Food Fund, which supports dignified responses to food poverty.

The Fair Food Transformation Fund aims to help Scotland become a ‘Good Food Nation’ – a country where everyone has access to healthy, nutritious food without needing emergency food aid.

The Fund will support projects that give a dignified response to food poverty and help to move away from emergency food aid as the first response.  To be funded, projects must show how they propose to meet the four principles for a dignified response to food poverty, described by the Independent Short-Life Working Group on Food Poverty:

  • That people with direct experience of food poverty help shape and deliver the service or solution.
  • That projects recognise the social value of food and aim to build community around food to create the feeling of a place where people choose to go, rather than have to go.
  • That projects provide opportunities for people to contribute, for example, through volunteering in different roles, sharing and learning new skills, growing food and participating in local community life.
  • That projects ensure that, as far as possible, people are able to choose what they eat; that the choice should include fresh and healthy food, and that where people can pay something for their food they have the dignity of being allowed to do so.

For more information and to apply, visit the Scottish Government website.

Edinburgh has become the first European capital to endorse a plant-based diet to tackle the climate emergency.

“We are acknowledging that food systems are a main driver of the climate ..”
