The Rural Affairs, Islands and Natural Environment (RAINE) Committee is scrutinising the Good Food Nation (Scotland) Bill and is seeking your views.
What does the Bill aim to do?
The Bill requires the Scottish Government and relevant authorities (e.g. health boards and local authorities) to create good food nation plans to support social and economic wellbeing, the environment, health, and economic development. Relevant authorities must have regard to the Scottish Government’s good food nation plan when drafting their own.
The Scottish Government and relevant authorities must consult people on their draft plans. A progress report must be published every two years and the plan must be reviewed every five years and, if appropriate revised.
According to the Scottish Government, these plans will help ensure good quality, locally sourced and produced food is a practical everyday reality for everyone.
The Commission also made a range of specific food policy recommendations for health, social justice, environmental sustainability, and knowledge.
