Food for Life Scotland
Food for Life Scotland is one of our key programmes of work, supported by the Scottish Government. The project aims to transform food culture in communities throughout Scotland through supporting the production and enjoyment of good food that is healthy, sustainable and accessible to all.
Future proofing Scotland's farming
We will be running a variety of event topics including animal productivity and health, nutrient management, water and wetland management, woodland management and biomass, anaerobic digestion and an introduction to low carbon farming. If you would like to suggest a farm that could host an afternoon’s visit or an expert to help discuss the topics further please give contact Lyn Matheson on 0131 666 0847 or lmatheson@soilassociation.org.
