Food Strategy

Issue

  • Hilary Benn today publishes the Government's food strategy.

Key points

  • The aim of the document is to bring together the three major issues in food (sustainability, health and food security) for the first time in one strategy.

  • The document will identify what results we need to achieve, and what action needs to be taken by whom (Government, food industry, farmers, consumers) to get there.

  • Hilary Benn will also announce an annual "food summit" to bring together interested parties to take stock of progress towards our goals.
