About Us
Food is vital to the quality of peoples' lives. However, it sits at the heart of some of Aberdeen City's most serious social, cultural, and economic issues. This makes it one of the most important ways that we can solve those issues and Granite City Good Food is that vehicle for change.
​
Granite City Good Food is Aberdeen City’s Sustainable Food Places Partnership, one of over 114 partnerships in a national network.
​
We are all part of the food system, we can all do something to make it more sustainable - no matter how small.
Where We've Been
Established as a food partnership in 2017, we were the 48th member of the Sustainable Food Places Network, and the 3rd in Scotland.
In 2018, we became the 1st in Scotland to gain the prestigious Sustainable Food Places Bronze award, and now in 2022, we became one of two in Scotland to gain the Silver Sustainable Food Places award, a marque which recognises the great work being done around the City around sustainable food systems.
Our Vision
In June 2025, Aberdeen was announced as the first Gold Sustainable Food Places Award holder in Scotland.
​
As part of our journey forward, we are committed to continuing to create positive systems change, working with partners across the city to make sure sustainable food continues to be a defining part of Aberdeen's identity.

Our Charter
We believe that every person in Aberdeen should have access to healthy, tasty, affordable, and sustainable food. However, in order to become a truly sustainable food place, we must all - individuals and organisations - take steps to becoming more sustainable.
