Passionate about Food & Growing

Food joins together our local economy, environment and society. It touches every aspect of life, from jobs to culture, health to natural surroundings.

Increasing the amount of local food grown and consumed in our communities is not only good for our environment but also for our health and our prosperity. 

Our approach to food is to lead by example, we work with others to demonstrate the value food can have in all aspects of our life. This means how we grow, cook, eat and travel for food; as well as looking at what we do with the food we throw away.

Our ambition is to help make change across the following areas:

• The Local Food Economy – Neighbourfood 
• Cooking & Eating 
• Growing & Demonstration
• Food Waste 
• Health & Wellbeing

Regional Online Food Markets

In a bid to increase access to nutritious, sustainable, local and seasonal food, in addition opening up routes to market for local businesses, FEL developed a two year project to train, support and equip organisations to build and launch 'click and collect' markets in their own rural communities across four regions of Scotland. These markets are hosted on the NeighbourFood platform.  Find out more about the regional online food markets.
