Public Diners: Infrastructure for a Good Food Nation
Date:
Thursday 1 February 2024 - 09:30 to 17:00
Venue:
Central Hall

Organiser:
Nourish Scotland
Nourish Scotland invites you to take part in designing a new piece of social infrastructure: the public diner.
We have public transport, libraries, housing, a public health system, but there is very little public infrastructure around food. We need an institution that supports us to eat, and eat well. This is both necessary and urgent.
This one-day conference will plan what public diners might look like in Scotland. We will:
- Get inspiration from the 1940s' British Restaurants and other examples
- Discuss the benefits Public Diners could deliver for our health, economy, social security, social cohesion and climate
- Work out a model for a public diner - menu, food sourcing, service and more
- Get the chance to experience and review a prototype public diner menu.
