How fixing the food system can help address the cost of living crisis
Millions are struggling to put food on the table, but unless we tackle the structural issues that drive household food insecurity we will not see lasting change for those who need it most.
How can we fix our food system in a way that helps address the current cost of living crisis? We must look upstream to the root causes driving hunger in the UK and implement policies that help alleviate the crisis millions face today, as well as improves our food system’s resiliency in the long-term.
Here are 5 things we need to do to help beat the cost of living crisis and fix the
food system for good.
- Supply chain fairness & Real Living Wages
- Adequate safety nets
- Public money for public goods
- Climate suitable food policy
- Accountability for action
