Our ‘Recipes For Action’ Work receives further support from Scottish Rural Network

Over the winter of 2023/24, we embarked on the first stage of of our work investigating how community-led food growing can be strengthened and developed in Tayside.

Empowering this very important part of Tayside’s food system was one of the many recommendations made at the conference ‘Feeding Tayside Through The Climate Crisis’, which took place in Dundee in March 2023. The results of this first stage were published in March and you can read the report, Strengthening & Developing Community-led Food Growing in Tayside: Recipes for Action here

We are very grateful to the Scottish Rural Network for offering us further support to begin implementing some of the recommendations. Over the next six months, up until the end of March 2025, we will be working with folk involved in community-led food growing in Tayside to:

• Develop a new charter for community-led food growing in Tayside
• Designing and begin delivering one campaign that promotes community-led food growing and six events and activities in Angus & Perth & Kinross
• Launch a new Bioregion-wide network that could help drive joint funding bids, skills sharing, policy activism and greater connection to the more commercial parts of Tayside’s food system
• Continue to collect and evaluate data about community-led food growing in Tayside and, which could support a Bioregion-wide food security strategy and inform Tayside’s new adaptation plans
