Recommendation 4b: Introduce a Horticulture Strategy to boost fruit and vegetable

Recommendation 4b: Introduce a Horticulture Strategy to boost fruit and vegetable consumption and production SUMMARY - The UK currently produces just 35% of our total fruit and vegetable supply. [...] We are not eating enough fruit and vegetables - In the UK, only 33% of adults and just 12% of 11–18-year-olds currently meet the recommended five-portions of fruit and veg a day. [...] - We would need to increase the amount of fruit and vegetables we consume by 86% to meet the Eatwell Guide dietary guidelines. [...] A robust, long-term horticulture strategy can support the production and increased consumption of fruit and vegetables, and ensure the UK is not unsustainably reliant on imports. [...] As the UK approaches a General Election, The Food Foundation is urging all candidates and political parties to recognise the importance of improving the food system for achieving many societal goals.
