A Food Realities Index and a Food Barometer will provide data to help the Food Ethics Council hold UK policy-makers to account.
Sustain member the Food Ethics Council works for a fair and resilient food system by focusing on the ethics that underpin decision-making in food production, trade and consumption.
To help achieve its goal, it has announced two new tools that will provide quantitative and comparative data to track the UK's performance against other countries, and hold decision-makers to account where there are shortcomings.
The Food Realities Index will provide a quantified assessment of how well the UK performs on key food system impacts relative to other OECD countries - across human health, social and economic value, animal welfare and environment.
The Food Barometer will evaluate key UK food and farming policies (and policy ideas) to assess whether they contribute to or hinder progress towards fair, sustainable food and farming systems.
