Description
This booklet highlights key research outputs from Scottish Government funded strategic research programme 2022-27 on sustainable food systems and supply. This includes research on sustainable food production from domestic agriculture through to sustainable and secure supplies of food, as well as supporting a safe and healthy diet. It provides elements of research relevant right through from farm to fork to contribute to the economy, people’s livelihoods and the health of the nation. One of the primary focuses is in developing resilient, high-quality crop, and food and drink industries that capture market value and contribute to Scotland’s economy. There is also a focus on improving agricultural practices to develop a resilient, productive sector that is abreast of new and transformative opportunities. Here we highlight examples of impact arising directly from the Strategic Research Programme and its crucial role in leveraging of further research funding to expand impact.
