A Future in Food - Case Studies

Bringing Scotland's schools and food and drink manufacturers together.

A Future in Food has been established to encourage young people to think about the food on their plates…. How is it produced? Where did the ingredients come from? How does it get to consumers? What type of skills are required? … and, in doing so, raise awareness of the many career opportunities on offer.

The programme's films and case studies aim at inspiring you to play your part in promoting our sector as a career destination. They feature a variety of companies' commitment to the communities in which they operate and personal experiences of a cross section of people – young employees, students and those combining working and studying.
