‘Radical rethink’ needed on food
A “radical rethink” of how the UK produces and consumes its food is needed, Environment Secretary Hilary Benn has warned.
He was speaking at the launch of the government’s assessment of the threats to the security of what we eat.
The food supply was currently secure but population growth and climate change could have an impact, he warned.
Producers, supermarkets and consumers have been invited to suggest how a secure food system should look in 2030.
Some of the findings from the consultation are expected to be published in the autumn.
