'NOURISH: the sustainable food network for Scotland' will be holding a networking event in Stirling at the Albert Halls on Friday and Saturday 26 / 27 February 2010.
On the Friday, there will be an informal programme of visits and discussions in the afternoon, followed by a meal in the evening. On Saturday 27th, discussions will focus on how to strengthen our local food culture in Scotland and how to organise the network effectively.
Nourish is interested in all aspects of sustainable food production, distribution and consumption in Scotland, and the workshop topics include:
• Skills and jobs – who will grow, cook and sell our local food?
• Connecting consumers and producers – sourcing, labelling, distribution, co-operation
• Social justice – how does local food address inequality and food poverty
• Modelling a low carbon local food system".
The full programme for the event will be published shortly along with a booking form. The organisers are keen that this process should be truly collaborative and democratic, so are inviting everyone to go along and share your views, energy and enthusiasm.
