Themed workshops will also explore ideas and examples of work that are happening both within and out with Fife to inspire changes we can make.
The Fife Food Summit will also launch the first steps towards creating a sustainable climate-friendly Food Partnership and Vision for Fife that is being developed by Fife Council’s Climate Change and Zero Waste Team.
Geraldine O’Riordan, Greener Kirkcaldy’s community food team manager, said: “This is a very interesting time for exploring food in Fife. This is an important first step to bring people communities, organisations, professionals, private and public sectors together to help influence food that is good for everyone in Fife.”
