What's Happening?
There's a lot of interest in local food – in the Highlands and Islands, elsewhere in the U.K. and further afield. Details of individual producers, retailers and projects in the Highland and Islands can be found in the section Eat Local. Here we highlight some of the producers, policy developments, projects and research from further afield.
Find out about local food events and training opportunities, in the Highlands and Islands and further afield. Search via a calendar or listing.
In this section we highlight some of the more interesting and inspirational CSAs, projects and community groups. If it's working somewhere else, it may well work here!
In this era of globalisation, where food routinely travels from distance countries, concerns about local food are also a global issue.
Policies at EU, UK, Scottish and local levels all affect local food production and delivery. Legislation on local abattoirs, Common Agricultural Policy reforms, crofting legislation, healthy eating initiatives and directives - a few of the many policy issues which concern local food.
