Survey targets Tayside community food producers

Calling stakeholders in Perth and Kinross, Angus and Fife!

A survey has been launched by Bioregioning Tayside to help them map community food growing in Tayside in a publicly accessible way.

The survey has been created by Bioregioning Tayside as part of its Recipes for Action’ work programme, aimed at strengthening and developing community-led food growing in Tayside.

Empowering this very important part of Tayside’s food system will help support local community producers and suppliers, who are being encouraged Bioregioning Tayside to participate in the survey.

This is the second survey to be undertaken since the programme began in 2023 and includes some new questions to help build the data set.

Empowering this very important part of Tayside’s food system was one of the many recommendations made at the conference Feeding Tayside Through The Climate Crisis

This is the second survey to be undertaken since the programme began in 2023 and includes some new questions to help build the data set. The results of this first stage were published in March and you can read the report, Strengthening & Developing Community-led Food Growing in Tayside: Recipes for Action online

Through support given by Scottish Rural Network , Bioregioning Tayside have began implementing some of the recommendations. Over the next six months, up until the end of March 2025, they will be working with people involved in community-led food growing in Tayside to:

• Develop a new charter for community-led food growing in Tayside
• Designing and begin delivering a campaign that promotes community-led food growing and six events and activities in Angus & Perth & Kinross
• Launch a new Bioregion-wide network that could help drive joint funding bids, skills sharing, policy activism and greater connection to the more commercial parts of Tayside’s food system
• Continue to collect and evaluate data about community-led food growing in Tayside and, which could support a Bioregion-wide food security strategy and inform Tayside’s new adaptation plans
