Wild venison on the menu in Islay & Jura schools 🦌 This pilot project by Argyll Landmarks, Wild Jura & #FoodforLifeScotland is a game-changer. Even BBC Scotland thinks so... listen to this morning's show from 54 minutes to hear more 👇 soilassociation.co/42lpuPh #ScottishSchoolMeals


Really excited about this 👇 The Soil Association Farmer and Grower Board has played a vital role over the years but now we are going to have a Scotland-specific board to help steer our activity north of the border. Please share and get in touch if you want to discuss! 👍


Are you farming or crofting on LFA land? 🌳Join us with James Hutton Institute on 27 Feb to explore what is needed to better support ‘sustainable & regenerative’ farming practices in LFAs, with a particular focus on #PeatlandRestoration & #Treeplanting 👇 📢eventbrite.co.uk/e/sustainable-…


Great to have Jim Fairlie MSP SNP out to Kilbucho Farm near Biggar yesterday to hear all about how Soil Association Exchange is helping farmers in the transition to sustainable and profitable farming. More info here: soilassociationexchange.com Soil Association Scotland Scot Gov Rural


We're sorry to hear that Mairi Gougeon will be standing down at the Scottish Government election next year. As Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs, she has been a big supporter of the Food for Life Scotland programme and Scotland's organic sector. We wish her well for the future.


Thanks to Scottish Government Agriculture Minister Jim Fairlie MSP SNP for stopping by the Soil Association Scotland exhibition stand in parliament today - great to catch up and discuss the roll out of new ag policy, the Whole Farm Plan, and the #organic action plan 👍


All set for Day 2 Royal Highland Show bright and early for a wwfscotland 🌍 and SAC Consulting workshop on a new AKIS for Scotland at the SRUC stand - looking like being another beautiful sunny day Soil Association Scotland
