The Scottish Government's independent advisory body on sustainable development
Sustainable Food for Scotland
Earlier this year the Scottish Government conducted a public discussion about the content of a new National Food Policy.
Read the SDC's formal response and recommendations - The Right Ingredients which draws on our previous work on sustainable consumption, as well as the existing evidence base.
Jan Bebbington is now working as a member of the Scottish Government's Food and Drink Leadership Forum. Jan's role is to act as a sustainable development champion and promote and challenge other group members on the importance of sustainable development to food and drink policy.
