Scottish focus on GM food

Friday 14 February 2003

Food Standards Agency Scotland will be working with the Scottish Civic Forum to organise and run four one-day events in Scotland to discuss issues of consumer choice and acceptability of GM foods.

The Scottish Civic Forum is a membership organisation committed to building a culture of active citizenship, in which Scottish people have opportunities to be more involved in shaping policies that may affect them. The Forum exists to build links between Scottish people, their Parliament and between different parts of civic society, and its role is to support small and poorly resourced organisations in engaging with Government. The Forum will use its their membership organisations to identify possible participants and expert speakers.

Two of the events will involve discussions with groups of low income/disadvantaged consumers – one group from an urban area and one from a rural area.

The other two events will be designed to target people in the 18-25 age group via discussion groups with students from two Colleges of Further Education in different parts of Scotland.
