    Food for All: Co-Creating Dignity in Community Food Services

    How can community food workers make the services they provide more understanding of the experience of asylum seekers, and more accessible given everyone’s varied cultural and religious food needs? Govan Community Project’s Food for All Group answered these questions by co-creating easy to understand educational resources for those in the sector and running training sessions. In this podcast episode, some of the group who worked on co-producing the resources share why the resources are needed and how they worked together to create them, some of the struggles experienced as an asylum seeker navigating community food services, and the impact that they hope their work will have.  This is a useful companion listen to using the resources, which can be found on the Dignity in Practice website: https://dignityinpractice.org/going-further

    Sustainable Food Production: Meat and Dairy

    In this episode I speak to two organic farmers, Bryce Cunningham, the dairy farmer who founded Mossgiel Dairy in East Ayrshire, and Chris Walton from Peelham Farm, producers of meat and charcuterie products in the Scottish Borders. They discuss how they have adapted their farming practices to meet organic standards and changing customer priorities. This episode marks the opening of applications to the 4th edition of the Glasgow Sustainable Food Directory. We have a previous episode on some of the venues in the 3rd edition of the directory - available here - and so for this episode we are focusing on sustainable food production.

    The Right to Food

    Tuesday 10th December was Human Rights Day, and people who want to see the human rights bill back on the Scottish Government’s agenda marched down the royal mile and demonstrated outside of Holyrood. The right to food, alongside many other rights, was to be included in the bill, and we got a chance to speak to human rights campaigners and those passionate about food justice alike about why they were there, including Lucy Miller from Human Rights Consortium Scotland and Clare MacGillivray from Making Rights Real. Ahead of the day of action we spoke to the director of Nourish Scotland to hear a little about what the right to food would mean for our food system.
