Priorities
- Work with further education providers to improve/integrate [food] sustainability education in order to improve employability prospects for the future workforce.
- Increase the provision for easily accessible farmers and neighbourhood markets/shops/pantries in all areas of the city prioritising socially and environmentally conscious (local/organic) producers.
- Continue to encourage, support and work with more local food businesses to adopt sustainability principles (including the real living wage, circular economy, reduced waste, nature friendly and nutritious food provision) through strengthening and growing the existing work (Glasgow Sustainable Food Directory, Circular Glasgow campaigns and other initiatives).
- Promote and advocate for local food businesses including producers, suppliers and retailers to the general public and our networks and through our communications and campaigns (including Good Food for Glasgow).
