Today Jess our Sustainable Food Coordinator and Sofi our Energy PM sat down to talk about all things supply chain, and local food.

The recent cyberattacks on major UK retailers like Co-op and M&S have left many supermarket shelves empty. Especially when it comes to fresh produce and everyday essentials. These disruptions haven’t just caused short-term inconvenience, they’ve also highlighted just how dependent we are on complex, centralised supply chains.

When systems go down, deliveries stall. And when those supply chains break, communities, particularly in rural or island areas like Arran, can be left with fewer options.

It’s a wake-up call that shows the importance of building more resilient, local food networks that aren’t as easily affected by global disruptions.

Thankfully on Arran we are surrounded by some amazing local producers, sellers and growers like:

Robin Gray’s Island Gourmet The Bay Kitchen & Stores Woodside Arran CIC Pirnmill Village Store & Post Office A&C Cameron The Arran Pioneer Project Arran Ice Cream Arran Dairies - your local wholesaler Bellevue Farm - Holiday Cottages & Farm Tours

You can read the full blog below, where we look at why local food matters, how we can support local and what we can do at home to build resilience.
