The National Food Strategy appeared in July 2021, but it will take time for academic experts to digest it and assess its implications. It is to be followed by a White Paper, and then possibly by legislation to implement changes. During this critical period of food policy development, it is important for media and public debates to be supported by evidence or, where necessary, challenged. We invite academics wishing to comment on aspects of the NFS, or journalists looking for specialist input, to get in touch with us here. Academics can find more information about this proposal here.
