UK Food System Requires Radical Transformation
A new report from UWE Bristol emphasizes the need for rapid and urgent action to transform the UK's food system, citing the need to reboot the economy, save the NHS billions, ensure national food security, and meet climate commitments.
The Roadmap for Resilience: A UK Food Plan for 2050, calls for radical transformation, at a scale and pace not seen since the Second World War.
The report highlights three core transformations required: more resilient farming, smarter land use, and healthier diets. It proposes 10 key recommendations and a timeline to 2050, stressing the need for government-led "decisive and coordinated action" to avoid being forced into change by increasing pressures.
- More resilient farming
- Smarter land use
- Healthier diets
