Food 2030

At the Oxford Farming Conference, Mr Benn said "Food security is as important to this country’s future wellbeing – and the world’s - as energy security. We need to produce more food. We need to do it sustainably. And we need to make sure that what we eat safeguards our health.

"We know that the consequences of the way we produce and consume our food are unsustainable to our planet and to ourselves. There are challenges for everyone involved in the food system, from production right through to managing food waste.

"We know we are at one of those moments in our history where the future of our economy, our environment, and our society will be shaped by the choices we make now."
