WORKING TOGETHER FOR A BETTER FOOD SYSTEM

What it's all about?

We are a cross sector, multi stakeholder group working collaboratively in Dumfries and Galloway. We believe that:

Everyone should have equal access to affordable, good, healthy food.
Our food should be produced in a way that is good for the environment and biodiversity.
We should have a vibrant and resilient local food economy.
People working in the food system should be respected and paid a fair wage.
