A GROUP of leading organisations representing Scottish food producers and processors last week launched a joint industry vision on what the Scottish Government’s upcoming Good Food Nation Bill must deliver.
Encompassing the three broad themes of ‘Educate, Sustain, Promote’, the document set out various measures which the Scottish agriculture and processing industries wish to see within any future food legislation – covering a range of policy areas such as education, health, agricultural regulation and public procurement.
The document, prepared by NFU Scotland, was signed by the Scottish Association of Meat Wholesalers, Dairy UK, Scottish Beef Association, National Sheep Association Scotland, British Egg Industry Council, Scottish Pig Producers and Scottish Quality Crops.
