Our response to the Scottish Parliament Rural Affairs, Islands and Natural Environment Committee's call for views on Good Food Nation Bill - December 2021

The Scottish Parliament Rural Affairs, Islands and Natural Environment (RAINE) Committee held a consultation on the provisions made in the Good Food Nation (Scotland) Bill. The Committee was seeking views on the Bill. 

The call for views sought feedback on:

• the decision not to incorporate the ‘right to food’ into Scots law through the
  Good Food Nation Bill
• the outcomes, indicators and policies that should be included in Good Food Nation Plans
• the decision not to provide a body to oversee the implementation of the Bill

In our response, we have called for the right to food to be incorporated through the Bill and that there should to be an independent statutory body to oversee implementation and operation of the Bill. 

The call for views closes at midnight on 5th January 2022.
