The Good Food Nation (Scotland) Act 2022 - The journey so far and our pathway forward
The Good Food Nation (Scotland) Act is a legislative framework designed to foster a healthier, fairer and more sustainable Scottish food system for all. It places, for the first time, statutory responsibilities on the Scottish Government and specified relevant authorities to develop, consult on, and implement National and Local Good Food Nation Plans. With Wellcome Trust funding, we have set up a Living Good Food Nation Lab to foster and empower the community of practice for food systems transformation in Scotland and undertake research into the enablers and ways of working needed to bring the Good Food Nation vision to life. In this seminar, I will critique the Good Food Nation (Scotland) Act, outline the current state of play, bring to life the emerging analytical, policy and engagement insights from our lab and flesh out unresolved concerns and tensions which may impact the transformational potential of this innovative legislative framework.
