Have you read the National Food Strategy research on the Impact of Changing Food Production and Diets on Food Prices and Affordability?
Main outcomes:
- The Food System has hidden costs; the highest being health costs, followed by food loss and waste.
- Adopting lower-carbon, more sustainable farming practices and healthy, plant-based diets could cut farming-related emissions by 50- 80%, restore nature on some agriculture land, and improve public health.
- More sustainable farming practices at scale are likely to increase the price of animal products, but not plants.
- Shifting to better farming practices and plant-based diets simultaneously will keep food affordable, reduce its environmental impact and improve people’s health and wellbeing.
