We're a food justice NGO, working for a fairer and more sustainable food system in Scotland and beyond.

Nourish Scotland is an NGO campaigning on food justice issues in Scotland. Food is at the heart of many of the major crises we collectively face today, from the destruction of our natural world to the pervasiveness of diet-related illness and household food insecurity. These issues have not come about by accident; they are a result of a food system in which power is highly concentrated, and in the hands of a shrinking number of exceptionally powerful organisations, with limited and fragmented government intervention. Nourish Scotland believes that only a transformation of the whole food system will result in effective and sustainable solutions. Our distinctive contribution is that we read across food issues – health, inequality and social justice, environmental justice, and the local food economy. We also link the levels, supporting grassroots community efforts and influencing national policy and legislation – and using each to inform the other.

Seaweed has been used as a soil amendment for generations by coastal farmers, and extracts made from it are used today as a biostimulant - but how does it work and how can you implement it on your farm or garden?

Join us to hear from two speakers based in Wales, Alma Joensen, an organic grower developing and trialing Seaweed Biostimulants and Sam Grinsted, a sheep farmer conducting innovative trials on his hill farm.
