As the UK builds a future outside of the European Union it will create new policies that have huge implications for people, the environment and the food we produce and eat.
Sustain is campaigning to ensure that decision makers uphold good standards in the UK as these benefit people and the planet at home and overseas.
We focus on protecting existing high food, farming and fishing standards, advocating for improvements and reflecting the concerns of concerned citizens, independent or smaller producers and those experiencing disadvantage.
What we do
Pages: National Food Strategy
Launched in two parts over 2020-2021, the National Food Strategy was an independent review commissioned by government to set out a vision and a plan for a better food system. The Government responded to it with its own 'strategy', published in June 2022 (six months late).

Page: Healthy Start map: Estimated loss to families in 2021
In 2021, on average only 54% of eligible families were receiving Healthy Start vouchers, which help parents of young children and pregnant women buy fruit, vegetables, milk and infant formula. As a result, hundreds of thousands missed out on this much-needed scheme - a huge loss to families struggling to cover the rising cost of living.
In our Healthy Start map we highlight the estimated cash shortfall for families in each Local Authority, as well as the average take up in each area during 2021.
