Today, we publish the first of our extraordinary and inspiring insights from the start of our national #foodconversation with citizens, starting with Birmingham and Cambridgeshire. ffcc.co.uk/so-what-do-we-… We all know that good food is absolutely essential to everyone's health and well-being. Yet the global food system is at the crux of the #permacrisis. Fossil-fuelled industrial food production is damaging the climate, nature and our health.

Our excellent @FFC_Commission commissioners @BrowningHelen and @JudithBatchelar on #R4today summarising the complexities and risks in the food system, why we are where we are and - importantly - what we need to do next Invest in local production - farmers and growers need support to invest in sustainable technologies, knowledge, land and logistics to grow and sell more of the healthy fruit and veg we need.

A bit of a long thread here on the leaked food strategy.
So it reads like it shares many aspirations with its critics. More regenerative, carbon and nature positive farming, with support to farmers and food business to innovate to tackle big global issues; making it easier for everyone to get good food in healthy food environments; UK leadership for a more sustainable global food system and progressive trade relationships; making better, more transparent decisions about how we use our scarce resources fairly, particularly land.
