National Good Food Nation Plan Section 2: Preparation of plan: principles
6.Section 2 provides that when preparing the national good food nation plan, the Scottish Ministers must have regard to certain principles.
7.The principle in paragraph (d) refers to the concept of “the food business sector”. This is defined in section 25 of the Act. It means persons carrying out businesses involving any stage of the production, processing or distribution of food or the preparation or service of food for consumers. This is therefore a wide definition including everyone from farmers to café owners.
