Aberdeen has become the first city in Scotland and one of just a handful of cities in the UK to win a prestigious Sustainable Food Cities award.
The award recognises Granite City Good Food’s (previously Sustainable Food City Partnership Aberdeen) work to promote healthy, sustainable and local food and to tackle some of today’s greatest social challenges, from food poverty, diet-related ill-health and lack of food skills, to the disappearance of family farms and the loss of independent food retailers.
The award was presented at an annual conference in Cardiff on June 26, attended by representatives from more than 60 UK cities, all part of the UK-wide Sustainable Food Cities movement.
Food projects recognised by the award include projects from Aberdeen charity CFINE,
The Allotment Market Stall (TAMS),
Granite City Growing and many others. Read the application for the award here.
