That the Parliament congratulates Whitmuir Farm on making the shortlist for the RSPB Nature of Scotland Awards in the Food and Farming category; recognises the commitment that it has made to modelling sustainable food production through its work with the local community; acknowledges the success of its educational 2000m2 programme, which saw two local schools produce 2.5 tonnes of veg for use in their canteens in 2016, and commends its aspiration to turn its whole 130-acre site into a living learning space.
