Portfolio Question Time
Food Security and Resilience
Gougeon, Mairi SNP Angus North and Mearns Watch on SPTV

The Scottish Government is working to protect our communities and economy by investing in ecosystem protection and restoration and ensuring that Scotland’s food systems are secure and resilient. Work is under way on the inaugural food security statement, as required by the Agriculture and Rural Communities (Scotland) Act 2024, which will include those environmental considerations.
