The UK is actively developing a new Food Strategy, focusing on food security, health, environment, and the economy and published a policy paper on 15 July.
Vision
A healthier, more affordable, sustainable and resilient 21st century UK food system that grows the economy, feeds the nation, nourishes people, and protects the environment and climate, now and in the future.
A healthier, more affordable, sustainable and resilient 21st century food system will deliver:
- a thriving UK food sector that feeds a healthier and more productive UK population and enables economic growth
- a healthier population with reduced diet related ill-health, especially for children and vulnerable people
- better environmental outcomes on land and sea, enhancing nature and ecosystem services while reducing pollution, waste and greenhouse gas emissions
- improved resilience of the supply chain, with reduced impact of shocks and chronic risks on access to healthy and sustainable food.
