Information provision

Our newsletter, Fare Choice, was published at least twice a year and fed readers information on our upcoming work and events, policy changes, current research, good practice examples, conference reports, news and publications.

We now have our e-bulletin, and Facebook page, as well as regular blog posts from staff and guest contributors.

In addition, we have published our research and evaluation work, factsheets, feedback from networking events, experiences of community food initiatives (CFIs) and occasional toolkits.

This website is home to most of our publications which are accessible in the library. We also augment our own information by curating web links to practical advice and resources to help CFIs run their projects effectively. There’s news, events and funding information too.

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.
