That the Parliament welcomes the appointment of Dundee University Students' Association (DUSA) as the catering provider for the co-Designing Innovative infrastructure for Sustainable Healthy & Equitable Diets (DISHED) one-year public diner pilot in Dundee; further welcomes that a High Street location has been secured for the diner following public consultation; understands that public diners are state-supported restaurants which, alongside public libraries and parks, form part of public infrastructure; believes that food system transformation is a key method for achieving Scotland’s sustainable development goals and notes that the Nourish Scotland report, Public Diners: The Idea Whose Time Has Come, identifies public diners as a means of improving nutrition and public health, providing accessible communal and social spaces and removing barriers to good food; further believes that public diners can play a role in creating a sustainable food system and building healthier communities, and pays tribute to the work of Nourish Scotland in engaging with communities across Dundee to build support for the pilot.
