Dumfries and Galloway Sustainable Food Partnership

What we do

Currently we are mapping the food system across D&G, through surveys aimed at farmers, hospitality and community food projects.

We are pulling together case studies of good practice in sustainable food from across the region, and we are planning a series of Local Food Gatherings to bring people involved in food at all levels together for conversations around food systems change.

We are open to new members of the partnership who can act as a collective voice for:

• Community food projects such as emergency food provision, community fridges, community gardening and food sharing.
• Cafes, restaurants and other food businesses.
• Farmers and food producers, particularly nature friendly farming and agroecology.
• Nature and biodiversity.
• Food education, colleges and schools.
• Other food producers making secondary products - cakes, preserves, chocolates etc...
• Supply chain, distribution and retail.
