The Scottish Food Coalition is a diverse alliance of civil society organisations working for food justice
Our Aim:
We want to transform the food system in Scotland so that it contributes to everyone's health and wellbeing, values the work to put food on our plates, supports high animal welfare, sustains our wildlife, natural resources and environment for generations to come. We want to do this by introducing the Good Food Nation Bill..

The Challenge:
Food is at the heart of some of Scotland's biggest challenges, from inequality to ill health to ecological damage. We have a food system of injustice: many people are priced out of a decent diet, reliant on food banks and suffering the consequences of poor nutrition. We do not value the people who work to produce and process food, the farm animals or the wild life and natural resources which enable us to eat well.
Currently, food policy is fragmented, with different Government departments creating separate and sometimes contradictory strategies according to diverse policy goals. We can't fit the interrelated issues that plague our food system without looking at the bigger picture and joining up the dots.
