(3) Supply Transparency

Where does your food really come from?

An important aspect of the network is in creating a totally transparent supply chain where we demonstrate to our customers that our advertised products are without doubt from local sources. To establish the source of the product simply select the product and the link will take the consumer to the producer's page where they will find information about the producer including their location and contact details.

The forward strategy for Scottish Agriculture and the review of the Scottish Diet Action Plan both clearly define a need for collaboration it is through collaboration that the networks stimulate growth by creating new markets for local products. The network allows producers to commit as much or as little product as they feel comfortable with. Prices and availability are determined by the producers in the true spirit of Fair-trade.
