NOTICE OF MOTION UNDER STANDING ORDER 13 Argyll and Bute Council recognises the huge contribution made by our farmers, crofters, growers and fishermen to our local economy, environment and wider rural communities. Consequently, Argyll and Bute Council commits to maintaining and where possible enhancing our working relationships with local arable, livestock, crofting, dairy farmers and fishermen by: a) Where possible, ensuring that food and drinks provided at Council organised events includes items sourced from local suppliers; to always include where possible meat, dairy and fish produce, alongside arable produce. b) As part of tackling the environmental priorities for Argyll and Bute Council; The Council will consider ways to encourage residents, where possible, to shop locally taking advantage of our Love Local marketing work, and taking advantage of home-grown, affordable and nutritious produce, including meat, dairy, fish and arable options. Thus reducing food miles to our tables and boosting the local economy. c) To continue to advocate to the Scottish and UK Governments the importance of supporting Argyll and Bute’s Food and Drink sector to our economy and way of life.
