This is the list of documents available for the submission Motion by Bailie Seonad Hoy:- "Council congratulates Glasgow Community Food Network and Glasgow Food Policy Partnership on their successful Full of Beans campaign, which ran from January to September 2024. The city-wide campaign aimed to promote greater consumption of beans and pulses as part of a healthy, planet-friendly diet in Glasgow, by: - sharing information on the environmental and health benefits of growing and eating beans; - creating Glasgow-specific information on how to grow and cook beans; - encouraging caterers to include more bean-based dishes on their menus; - creating opportunities for different sectors and the general public to participate; - involving various growers across the city and encouraging people to grow and save seeds of interesting bean varieties. Successes from the campaign included partnership working with the Council's catering team and Soil Association Food for Life to develop new bean filled dishes. These include a bean wrap, and butterbean macaroni cheese with cowboy beans, which launched in secondary schools in August and will be available in primary schools and early years establishments from April 2025. These dishes are nutritious, tasty, and will help to increase consumption of fibre and reduce consumption of meat in schools, in line with Sustainable Development Goals Advocacy Hub2. The campaign team also ran workshops for more than 100 primary school pupils who learned about the health/environmental benefits of beans through planting bean seeds, making badges and playing games. The catering team's work has since been recognised with a special award at the Scottish School Food Awards 2024 which took place in February 2025. Glasgow-based wholesaler Green City Wholefoods also got involved by providing special offers for their customers, and restaurants like Sprigg put 'beans on the menu' in the month of March supporting the global 'Beans is How' campaign. Community workshops and events supported Glaswegians to grow their own beans and to cook bean-based recipes. Council notes that this campaign links with Scotland's aims to be a good food nation, particularly in relation to reducing climate change and preventing negative impacts on the natural environment. Furthermore, Council notes how the campaign contributes to the aims of the Glasgow City Food Plan, enabling collaborative progress on sustainability, food security and increasing access to good quality nutritious food. Council congratulates the catering team for their work to increase awareness of the health benefits of beans and to increase the volume of beans consumed in Glasgow schools, which has been recognised at the Scottish School Food Awards. Council commits to promoting the environmental, health and animal welfare benefits of plant-based food, including beans, through schools, community venues and by promoting public awareness campaigns such as Meatless Mondays and Veganuary. Council requests that each Council family catering facility provides at least one vegan main meal option each week.".
