Are you a Scottish food business interested in supplying Scotland's public sector?
In an average year, the public sector in Scotland spends almost £150 million on food and drink. With a growing opportunity for Scotland’s producers, there has never been a better time for Scottish food businesses to get involved in supplying public food service.
At Food for Life Scotland, we work with local food producers and suppliers to put more Scottish food on the table in schools across the country. In this section, you can read more about our work with local authorities and food businesses across Scotland.
Boosting Scottish food in Scottish school meals
Working with our partners, we've taken on many projects including supporting Mossgiel Organic farm on its journey to supplying milk to schools across East Ayrshire.
The public sector is a great route to market for Scottish suppliers and producers. Local authorities and suppliers across Scotland are working together to boost the local economy and to get more good food into school meals.
