The Cross Party Group on Food in the Scottish Parliament has, according to its website, the following purpose

"To raise awareness of food issues from production through to consumption in Scotland and their importance to the consumer, the economy, the environment and to the health of Scotland. To act as a policy forum for discussion and updating on food issues in Scotland To contribute to policy development on a range of food issues in Scotland." [1]


Community Food and Health Scotland

During the spring of 2008 the Scottish Government ran a "discussion" inviting people to help shape Scotland's first national food policy. The Cross part group response was compiled in conjunction with the Community Food and Health Scotland (CFHS) group on the topic of food access to disadvantaged communities. [2]

The cross party group has also produced a previous scoping study on food access in conjunction the CFHS group. [3]
