The motion

That the Parliament warmly welcomes the focus on food as part of WWF Scotland’s One Planet Living exhibition; notes that 20% of our ecological footprint arises from the impacts of our food choices; encourages everyone to do what they can to reduce their “food footprint” and help us move towards “one planet living” by choosing more local, fresh, seasonal, fair trade and organic produce and less processed and packaged foods; notes that by making these changes we can make significant reductions in our “food footprint”; celebrates the fact that these choices are better for the planet and better for our health, and looks forward to making these links in the Schools (Health Promotion and Nutrition) (Scotland) Bill.
