Scotland’s Local Food Revolution book launch in Glasgow!

The next book in the Centre for Confidence's Postcards from Scotland series is called 'Scotland’s Local Food Revolution' and it’s by Mike Small, Director of the Fife Diet.

This book lifts the lid on the unsavoury reality of our current food system including horsemeat in processed beef products, the unsustainable movement of food round the globe, and how supermarket shopping generates massive waste. It’s an indictment of a food system that is out of control.
