Food and drink industry news
FDF attends Food and Drink Expo 2024
As the UK’s largest food and drink industry event returned from the 29th – 1st of May - and so did we! At our stand we invited attendees to explore what we do, what we are working on and setting out our goals for the next decade with our recently published industry manifesto.
What we do
FDF Scotland’s activities on behalf of its members and the industry change over time to reflect industry needs. Nevertheless, food safety and science, environmental sustainability and the challenges around diet and health remain key issues.
Environmental sustainability
Our members have continued to significantly reduce carbon emissions and water consumption, as part of their commitment to reduce our environmental impact.
Diet and health
Scottish food and drink producers are playing a key role in enabling consumers to achieve a healthy balanced diet. Our Reformulation team is helping small to medium sized food companies to make their food healthier.
People and employment
Having a skilled, engaged workforce is vital to running a successful food and drink business and will help secure the future of the Scottish food and drink industry.
Cross Party Group on Food
FDF Scotland provides the Secretariat for the Scottish Parliament’s Cross-Party Group on Food - a policy forum bringing together stakeholders from across the food chain to discuss the key food issues in Scotland.
