Progressing the Right to Food in Glasgow

How can we make the right to food real in Scotland – and in Glasgow?

Nourish Scotland and partners invite you to join a workshop for managers, practitioners and wider stakeholders working across food, advice, community, local authority and health services. Together, we’ll explore how we can bring dignity, rights and cash-first approaches to life in our communities.

This interactive workshop aims to:

Build a shared understanding of the right to food in Scotland and Glasgow

Facilitate awareness and engagement in rights-based and dignified approaches

Identify practical actions and opportunities to advance the right to food movement

Strengthen networks across Glasgow and beyond

This event is for:

• Community food projects
• Advice and welfare providers
• Local authorities
• NHS and health boards
• Policy-makers and planners
• Anyone working to create a fair, dignified and sustainable food system in Glasgow

Why now?

The Scottish Government has confirmed its intention to reintroduce a Human Rights Bill (if re-elected post-2026), which would incorporate the right to food into Scots law.

The Cash-First: Towards Ending the Need for Food Banks plan sets out a clear direction of travel, with many projects already shifting towards income-based approaches that uphold dignity.
