Good Food Nation Proposals for Legislation

A great deal of work is already happening now to make a real and positive difference to the lives of the people of Scotland: helping to improve their access to, and understanding of, the benefits of healthy local foods; ensuring sustainability of our wonderful food industry; and looking to grow Scotland’s reputation as a Good Food Nation from which other countries can learn. 

While legislation is not the only way to make progress, there is a clear place for legislation to underpin the considerable work that is already being done to realise our Good Food Nation ambitions.

This consultation sets out our proposals for legislation around the Good Food Nation ambition.
