Good Food Bill Joint Statement

More than 100 major UK supermarkets, food businesses, investors, NGOs and academics have put their names to a joint statement calling for Government to introduce a new Good Food Bill.

They say it would transform England’s food system and ensure food and nutrition security for current and future generations by protecting citizens, farmers and food businesses from climate shocks and inflation.

It comes as polling shows 69% of people think the government should be doing more to ensure everyone can afford and access healthy food and 65% of people support a Food Bill that would introduce duties and targets on government bodies to make healthy food more accessible and affordable.
