Food Supply
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps his Department is taking to increase food security.
Answered by Daniel Zeichner
We are investing over £2.7 billion a year in farming and nature recovery, cutting EU export costs for food producers, and ensuring farmers are well-placed to bid for a fair share of public sector food contracts.
We will make reforms to ensure farmers receive fair payment for food production and have appointed former National Farmers Union president and cross-bench peer Baroness Minette Batters to review barriers to farming profitability.
