Where we’ll be celebrating our food and drink success stories and brainstorming ways to meet the region’s pressing social, environmental and economic needs.

BOOK YOUR FREE PLACE

Stuart Gusinski of Forth Valley Food Futures said: “These three one-day events will include workshops on a range of food topics and a chance to exhibit your own local initiatives and network with other local businesses and organisations.”

Join us to explore how we make Forth Valley a place known for good food that:

• Promotes healthy and sustainable food to the public;
• Tackles food poverty, diet-related ill health and access to affordable healthy food;
• Builds community food knowledge, skills, resources and projects;
• Promotes a vibrant and diverse sustainable food economy;
• Transforms catering and food procurement;
• Reduces waste and the ecological footprint of the food system.

SHARED LEARNING

Each event will bring people together to connect over good food. Forth Valley Food and Drink Coordinator Stacey Spence said:

“As the Good Food Nation Act moves closer with the requirement for detailed local food plans, this opportunity to look at all aspects of food in the Forth Valley has never been more timely.

“We’ll be joined by coordinators from all over Scotland, so there will be plenty of inspiration and learning to be shared.”

Each day will include:

• Long table lunch and networking
• Keynote speakers.
• Workshops.
• Shared learning from other Food Partnerships.
• Cycle bus to the event.
• Help to shape the Food Action Plan.
