Today we hosted the second annual UK Farm to Fork Summit in No 10 and set out the next steps in our plan to back British farmers and food security.
- Farming is the lifeblood of our rural communities, feeding the nation and stewarding our green and pleasant land. However, we still do not grow enough food domestically and can go further in boosting the British farming industry.
- That is why we are publishing the first ever UK Food Security Index, setting out the Blueprint for Growing the UK Fruit and Vegetable Sector, and ensuring the sector has the labour it needs through the Shropshire Review, and ensuring fairness in the supply chain.
- We are sticking to the plan to back British farmers in their primary role of growing food, investing in food security and growing resilient farming businesses to feed the nation for generations to come.
