Official end of project report for RI-B7-02: Revalourisation potential of agricultural waste materials into a sustainable source of health-promoting dietary fibre.

The “You Are What Your Food Eats” Conversation investigated the long-term effects of land-use decisions on climate change and the food chain and, in particular, which crops can be grown locally, by traditional or alternative methods, to provide the nutrition for a healthy diet.

This series of Conversations was funded by the Scottish Government Climate Change Engagement Programme and SEFARI Gateway, and was organised through collaboration between SEDA Land, The James Hutton Institute and Scotland’s Rural College.

This report summarises the information provided to, and discussed with, the Scottish Government by a SEFARI Gateway-funded Specialist Advisory Group (SAG). The aim of the SAG was to draw on the individual and collective expertise of a group of academics to provide information and advice to the Scottish Government on its introduction of a rural lens and on its Rural Delivery Plan.
