Invest in our farmers, enable sustainable food production bearing in mind we are an island and unfortunately rely mainly on foreign imported food which in the future may not be affordable. Time to rethink food production in the U.K.

Even better give everyone a universal basic income, that would enable people to buy food tampons etc without being humiliated by poverty.

Food should be at the heart of Scottish Culture We have a distinctive food production system which produces food and sustains producer and linked communities. We need to maintain this and to continue to work with our distinctive land resource which is just so fifferent from other parts of the UK

Food is inevitable to every living soul and not to be formated. Everybody should easily have access to fair and green foods.

The entire population must be more engaged in where their food comes from and be involved wherever possible in growing, shopping, preparing, eating, enjoying and valuing food as an intrinsic part of life.

Back to basics! Food is a necessity, not a luxury. The entire population must be more engaged in where their food comes from and in growing, buying , preparing , enjoying food. Does not need to be fancy, so called simple meals such as lentil soup, omelette, bean casserole, with or without meat are cheap and easy to prepare. But here's one of the catches, they do require a wee bit of forward planning and preparation, something which has been lost to too many folks. At the very least the Scottish government will have to reinstate home economics classes in schools as well as tackling the issue of unable or unwilling parents in this respect. Supermarkets have a role to play by reducing the range of rubbishy products on sale, but of course that means loss of revenue.

Amongst any other practical way we can get nutritious food to people in need how about the new Scottish Government Best Start Food cards just launched on the 12th of August. Can this scheme not be used to help those who can easily be identified by the benefits they are on whether working or not to receive extra funds for a possibly wider range of 'best start foods' instead of a blanket approach to 'holiday hunger'?

Many people in our community do not have access to decent healthy and cheap food or can't afford to buy food. It is appalling in this day and age that people are forced to go to food banks because of sanctions or too little benefits to live a dignified fulfilling life.. Having to make choices between things like being warm, clothing your children or eating is not acceptable in this day and age and in this country.
