Our food system can deliver healthy people, rewarding jobs, a thriving environment and more; our food policy must enable us to get there

Promoted by Nourish Scotland and hosted by Rhoda Grant MSP in partnership with the Scottish Food Coalition, this event will interrogate why Scotland needs the right to food.  How can we ensure that food policy is founded in human rights, with social and environmental justice at its heart.  We will explore Rhoda Grant’s right to food consultation, and the Good Food Nation Bill as key opportunities to strengthen human rights in food policy.
