This report by the National Preparedness Committee, led by Prof. Tim Lang, considers the consequences on the UK’s food supply if the status quo were disrupted by conflict, trade wars, or climate change. It finds that other countries are currently much better prepared than the UK.

Summary
Since World War ll, the UK has experienced a revolution in food. Diets, supply and tastes have changed and become more used to more plentiful, diverse and a-seasonal food. At the same time, access to food has become more dependent on fewer, larger suppliers, while still being subject to the vagaries of unequal incomes and living standards. This report considers what would be entailed for the public if the status quo were disrupted. What would public reactions be? How prepared for food shocks is the UK?
