Low hanging fruit: A policy pathway for boosting uptake of plant-rich diets

This policy pathway, produced in collaboration with Green Alliance and The Good Food Institute, outlines a series of pragmatic and easily implementable policy recommendations for the government to include in the forthcoming Food Strategy. 

These actions would give people much greater access to healthier and more sustainable plant-rich diets in a way which would improve the nation’s health, maintain our food security whilst bolstering our nutrition security (by producing more fruit, vegetables and legumes), and support the livelihoods of our farmers.

Producing and eating more plant-rich diets would bring an array of health, environmental and economic benefits to the UK. With a new government and a new food strategy underway, now is an opportune time to act and deliver a UK food system that supports both people and the planet.
