Changing food cultures: challenges and opportunities for UK agriculture

The University of Exeter’s Centre for Rural Policy Research has released the report “Changing food cultures: challenges and opportunities for UK agriculture”. The report gives an overview of how UK agriculture might be affected by future changes in the food system, such as health concerns or increases in purchases of ready-meals and snacks.

The report makes several policy recommendations, including:

  • Include nutritional quality in quality assurance schemes
  • Encourage the cultivation and marketing of pulses, and
  • Treat nutritional security as a public good.
