The fund has been paused for the 2025/26 session to allow for a full evaluation. Now in its twelfth year, this period of review will ensure the fund continues to be relevant, effective, and impactful in supporting food education across Scotland.

This evaluation is being undertaken in alignment with the Curriculum Improvement Cycle, which provides an opportunity to reflect on existing programmes and consider how they can best meet current and future needs.

Further information about the outcomes of the evaluation and any future funding opportunities will be shared in due course.
