Glasgow Sustainable Food Directory
Created in collaboration by the Glasgow Food Policy Partnership and Slow Food Glasgow, the key aim of the GSFD is to map the city’s most sustainable restaurants and food shops in one handy resource, to encourage both residents and tourists to support local, sustainable businesses. Check out the online interactive map here.
As well as promoting sustainable consumption, the directory also aims to encourage businesses themselves to make the switch to sustainability. If you’re interested in joining a likeminded community of sustainable hospitality businesses, why not apply for the third edition of the GSFD? Check out the GSFD Sustainability Toolkit before the submissions for the third edition open soon here.
