Letter to the guardian
“Our vision for food
The food strategy white paper is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for the UK government to set out a single visionary plan to transform England’s food system for our health, the economy and the planet. Recent gas and commodity price increases, CO2 shortages, tighter border controls and labour shortages have shown how important a coordinated approach to the food system is. It is only by taking an integrated, cross-government approach, building on the recommendations laid out in the National Food Strategy, that the government can lead the food system reform necessary to achieve its net zero and nature-positive commitments, tackle obesity and reduce inequalities……”
The Food Ethics Council joined a host of leading NGOs, food businesses and academics in calling on the government to commit to new primary legislation and champion food system change – in this joint letter led by Sustain, Food Foundation and WWF-UK.
