Dundee Food Sustainability
We are working towards Dundee becoming a sustainable food place.
What we are working towards.
Eat & Drink Dundee working to bring together partners, stakeholders and interested parties from across the city that are integral to the city’s food landscape.
By working collaboratively we can work on a combined approach to food policy to create a more healthy and sustainable food system. Ensuring that everyone in the city has equal access to sustainable and healthy food.
We are what we eat, but we are also ‘how’ we eat…
What sustainability means to us…
Sustainable food is that it should be produced, processed, distributed and disposed of in ways that:
Contribute to thriving local economies and sustainable livelihoods - both in the UK and, in the case of imported products, in producer countries
Protect the diversity of both plants and animals and the welfare of farmed and wild species
Avoid damaging or wasting natural resources or contributing to climate change
Provide social benefits, such as good quality food, safe and healthy products, and educational opportunities
