A recent campaign launched by the DEFRA appointed Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board has faced criticism for contradicting scientific evidence. Experts say, the 'Let's Eat Balanced' campaign, describes misleading information that ignores negative health impacts associated with meat and dairy-rich diets, and lacks adequate attention to environmental issues connected to heavy meat consumption.

This report from the Transforming UK Food Systems Strategic Priority Fund explores the relationships between civil society organisations and food systems researchers under ‘knowledge-policy interfaces’ in pursuit of more impactful and transformative food policy in the UK.

This book provides a wide-ranging introduction to food policy in the UK. The book covers various topics, including healthy and sustainable diets, food insecurity, finance, public sector food initiatives and food safety as well as the role of media, the food industry and government. The book is addressed to students, scholars, policymakers and professionals, as well as those interested in food systems.

This report is a follow on to The Farm to Fork strategy, announced by the European Commission in 2020, that presented a series of policy goals based on the assumption that consumers choose food through a rational and reflective process. Incorporating scientific evidence that consumer choice is actually largely influenced and restricted by food environments, this report sets out a set of recommendations for a mix of policy interventions to overcome the barriers that are preventing consumers from adopting more sustainable and healthier diets.

This report published by WWF-UK lays out how UK population diets can become more healthy and sustainable and how that shift can support national climate and nature targets.

The Food Injustice 2020-2022 report by Greenpeace International discusses how modern food systems are dominated by large multinational corporations. It argues that these corporations make massive profits with very little consideration for producers and consumers, which continues to drive increases in world hunger. The Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine are used as case studies for crises that have exacerbated these issues. The report concludes that global policy must focus on promoting food sovereignty so that power shifts from these large multinational corporations back to the consumer and producer.

This report from the Food Research Collaboration looked at both the National Food Strategy for England, The Plan, published in July 2021 and the resulting Government Food Strategy.

As part of the Cycle to Farms project, political scientist Aisha Hassan and agribusiness professional Lukas Paltanavičius are cycling 7,000 km from farm to farm in the EU, the Middle East, and Africa. Their aim is to document regenerative agriculture practices and share their findings with policymakers. They are in the process of making a documentary.
