Eco-Congregation Scotland is part of the Scottish Food Coalition, working for food justice. We recently joined with others to discuss the Scottish Government’s draft Good Food Nation Plan. The plan sets out six outcomes for a Good Food Nation.
A consultation is currently open, until April 22nd 2024, to hear your views and feedback on these outcomes.

Host a Kitchen Table Talk
To widen participation, the Scottish Food Coalition are encouraging people who care about our food system to host a Kitchen Table Talk. These informal gatherings can be organised by anyone, any time, anywhere, and there are handy resources available to support hosts. This could be done as part of your Eco-Group, Homegroup, Youth Group, Guild etc. Find out more here: https://www.foodcoalition.scot/kitchen-table-talks.html
