Nourish

Nourish 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.

Last Wednesday we had our launch event (and feast!) for the Our Right To Food: Pakistani Households report.

We heard from the community advisors about some of the main findings around:

Fitting a “desi” diet onto the Eatwell Plate
Flying in culturally important fruits (mangoes!)
Finding good (organic?) halal meat
- and most importantly, just how important food is for this Pakistani household.

We enjoyed a meal cooked with love - inspired by the weekly shopping basket from the report. Thanks

We can't understand the right to food without understanding what culturally valued diets look like in Scotland. For the past year, we have been working with Pakistani households in Glasgow to address and monitor the right to food for this major food culture.

Today we're pleased to share with you 'Our Right to Food: Pakistani households in Scotland' report.

This work is a follow-up to the Our Right to Food report published in 2022 which sets out an approach for understanding and monitoring the right to food in practice. Happy reading!
