The National Food Strategy (in England)

The way we produce, distribute, market and consume food raises a series of difficult policy questions which governments cannot shirk. These questions extend to health, lifestyle choice, the environment and food security. To address growing problems, to ensure the security of food supply and to maximise the benefits of the coming revolution in agricultural technology, the UK government proposes to develop a new integrated National Food Strategy. The purpose of the review is to consider how the UK’s food sector operates currently, and to set out options (underpinned by detailed evidence, including in respect of the associated pros, cons, and trade-offs) for adjusting Government policies to better achieve the objectives for the Strategy.
