Thinking green is now well and truly a core part of business strategy throughout the food industry. Suppliers and retailers are finding they can help keep a lid on soaring costs by making changes in the way they produce, distribute and package their products. The UK has been at the forefront of these changes and in Edinburgh (13th may) all sections of the country's food industry gathered to hear the latest on sustainability.

Jim Mather, Scottish Minister for Enterprise, Energy and Tourism, outlines the role the Scotland's devolved government wants to play: "The key for government is to bring a more coherent approach to food policy. The food and drink sector is key to achieving our growth potential and we are committed to providing the best possible environment to develop the sector going forward".
