Dear George Eustice

The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low prices is forgotten.

What is the true cost of cheap food? Is it the Quality? The environment? Animal welfare? Workers rights? The risk of disruption to supply from conflict or pandemic?
When will gov look beyond this parliament and instead of focusing on quick crowd pleasers adopt a sustainable food security model fit for consumers, producers and the environment.
This gov has shown that it has no interest in food security and seems oblivious to the risks of outsourcing our food production.

Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
