Scotland's National Food and Drink Conference 2012

Scotland's second National Food and Drink Conference will take place on Wednesday 7th March 2012 in Perth Concert Hall.

The conference will celebrate the achievements of people the length and breadth of the country, from community groups to industry who help Scotland's National Food and Drink Policy policy to life and make its achievements real.

Richard Lochhead MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs and the Environment, will kick the day off by mapping out plans for the future. The conference will be hosted by Stephen Jardine, a former TV presenter and self confessed foodie! Speakers include top Scottish chef Nick Nairn and Fraser Doherty, who will motivate you with his inspiring story of Super Jam. More details of the programme will be revealed over the coming months.

Scotland is proud of the fact that we are one of the first nations to set out our agenda in a food and drink policy which integrates economic growth of the food and drink industry with health and environmental sustainability, food security and education to name but a few.
