The government’s long-awaited food strategy has been branded a “pale imitation” of proposals put forward by an advisor to reduce food poverty in England.
The strategy, published today (13 June), “focuses on longer-term measures to support a resilient, healthier, and more sustainable food system that is affordable to all”, it states.
Among a raft of measures to reform farming and agriculture, the strategy says the government will review current policies around healthy eating in schools and pledges to increase support for schools to teach pupils how to cook healthy meals.
