We are the Scottish Alliance for Food.
Together we can build a healthy, sustainable and equitable Scottish food landscape.
Through collaborative, cross-sectoral, cross-disciplinary research, we are reimagining the food landscape and how to build a better food future for all. Acknowledging food as a complex research challenge, we want to bring about real change.
Our mission is to bring together different perspectives from social, natural, formal, and applied sciences, and arts and humanities to understand and address the complexity of food as a research challenge, helping to bridge the gap between food producers, scientists and the people of Scotland.
By assembling an alliance of diverse voices, we will be better positioned to tackle emerging research questions and build a better food future for Scotland, one that is healthy, sustainable and equitable for all.
We want you to join us to share your voice and expertise. Together we can shape a brighter food future.
