Thriving Communities
Rural Scotland is diverse - from remote islands to accessible areas within a short drive of our cities.
Food Matters
Food is fundamental to the wellbeing of Scotland because it impacts not only on our economy, but also our culture, health and environment.
Changing Environment
The changing environment presents a number of challenges for Scotland - climate change and how we respond to it; halting the decline in biodiversity; managing water quantity and quality; and protecting our soils.
Support to Agriculture
