News: Report on the food production and supply dimensions of food security

The Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee (EFRA) has published its report on the food production and supply dimensions of food security. EFRA Chair Anne McIntosh called for clearer lines of UK governmental responsibility, noting that at least three Departments are now responsible for food security: Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra); Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS); and the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC), and stated that to ensure coherent planning and action, overall strategy must be led by Defra, who must ensure a robust approach right across Whitehall. The Food Security report supports the idea of ‘sustainable intensification’ – producing more food with fewer resources – and calls on Defra to stem decline in UK self-sufficiency and deliver more resilience in the UK food system. It notes that for key cereal crops, for example wheat, yield levels have not increased for over 15 years. The report calls for: Supermarkets to shorten supply chains to reduce threats of disruption; UK farmers to extend seasonal production of fresh fruit and vegetables in coordination with the Agricultural and Horticultural Development Board, and local and central government; government to reduce dependence on imported soybean for animal feed, as increased demand for protein from emerging economies threatens current supply lines; and government to produce a detailed emissions reduction plan for the UK agricultural sector.
