Aberdeen residents are being encouraged to have their say on the city's Food Growing Strategy.

The council has created an online survey to discover why, where and how people are growing their own food.

All local authorities in Scotland are required to form a strategy under the Community Empowerment Act 2015.

Councillor Yvonne Allan said: "There a number benefits of having a local food growing strategy in place not least of which are having accessible fresh produce and reducing our carbon footprint and our reliance on food brought in from elsewhere.

"I would encourage everyone who has an interest in this topic to take part in the survey and help shape our strategy."

The survey will be open until the end of February with the new project being developed over the next year.
