Granite City Good Food
Food is vital to the quality of peoples' lives.
It sits at the heart of some of Aberdeen City's most serious social, cultural, and economic issues. It’s one of the most important tools we have in creating solutions for them.
By taking a whole-systems approach to creating a sustainable food system, we aim to:
- Take a strategic and collaborative approach to good food governance and action,
- Build public awareness, active food citizenship and a local good food movement,
- Tackle food poverty, diet-related ill-health, and increase access to affordable healthy food,
- Create a vibrant, prosperous, and diverse sustainable food economy,
- Transform catering and procurement and revitalise local and sustainable food supply chains,
- Tackle the climate and nature emergency through sustainable food and farming and put an end to food waste.
One of over 90 partnerships in a national network stretching across the UK, Aberdeen was one of the first places in Scotland to achieve the prestigious Sustainable Food Places Silver award and are making progress to achieve Gold by 2025.
