FFCC Scotland works to convene collective leadership around important issues in Scotland, resourcing communities to take radical and practical action, and convening leadership across all parts of the system, from farmers to activists, businesses to government, academics to practitioners, to catalyse change.
FFCC Scotland's work programme is shaped by listening to a cross-sectoral voluntary leadership group, convened to ensure our work is relevant and responsive, including Public Health Scotland, Nourish Scotland, Opportunity North East, Scotch Whisky Association, Soil Association Scotland, Scottish Agricultural Organisation Society, Quality Meat Scotland, Scottish Salmon Producers Organisation, Indigo Words/South of Scotland Enterprise
Partnership and the John Muir Trust.
