The overall objective of the Argyll and Bute Food and Health Strategic Plan is to promote health and quality of life through an integrated, comprehensive food and health plan in the local community. The benefits of increasing the amount and distribution of locally grown food, especially fruit and vegetables encompass many aspects of health including nutritional, environmental, social, and cultural with direct and indirect economic benefits for the whole community.
This view of food and health recognises that food is more than just nutrition. Whilst nutritional health is fundamental in the prevention of disease, improving the availability, access and consumption of nutritious food can also have many health benefits.
