Food and nutrition training
Staff and volunteers working in community food initiatives (CFIs) should have some basic training in food and health and food hygiene. CFHS has promoted food and nutrition training to CFIs and offered occasional funding schemes to help cover the cost of training.
Our plan for 2024/2025
CFHS is currently working with the Scottish Government, community food networks and our colleagues in Public Health Scotland to plan how the community food sector can be supported in the future.
