South of Scotland Food & Drink Survey
Landscape Assessment for the South of Scotland Food & Drink Ecosystem

Welcome to the South of Scotland Food & Drink Landscape Assessment Survey! Delivered by the South of Scotland Destination Alliance (SSDA), this essential survey forms the first phase of our ongoing work to map and enhance the region’s food and drink sector.

We are collaborating closely with key partners to understand the current challenges and opportunities within the industry, and how we can work together to support local businesses. Your insights as a producer, operator, event organiser, or stakeholder are invaluable in shaping the future of this sector.

This survey is part of a broader effort, including the Regional Local Food Growth Plan and Small Producers Scoping Studies, to ensure that the food and drink landscape in the South of Scotland is supported effectively. By participating, you’ll help inform strategic planning, guide future funding opportunities, and create stronger connections that will benefit businesses across the region.

Your input will play a key role in achieving our shared objectives for the growth and sustainability of local food and drink in the South of Scotland. The outcomes and recommendations from this survey will be shared with all participants in due course.
