The Scottish Government have set out a vision for Scotland to be “a Good Food Nation, where people from every walk of life take pride and pleasure in, and benefit from, the food they produce, buy, cook, serve, and eat each day.”

Local Authority Caterers (LAC) are at the front line of the Good Food Nation’s ambitions. Their work shaping public food systems is a key linchpin in the delivery of the Good Food Nation (Scotland) Act (GFNA).

This paper sets out the 6 outcomes of the GFNA and highlights the work, sometimes hidden by Local Authorities, to deliver on these outcomes.

It also explores the limitations of Local Authorities and the challenges surrounding sustainable and long-term funding, amongst a landscape of extremely challenging financial outlooks by many.

The passion of individuals working in the industry should be celebrated and spoken about more widely, their engagement with the next generation will ensure that Scotland can truly be a Good Food Nation.
