Powering Productivity report

Boosting the UK's food security has been named a "core priority" by Steve Reed MP, the new Defra Secretary, as UK agriculture's productivity falls.

A list of organisations, politicians and academics that support the "Powering Productivity for Sustainable UK Food Security" report's core recommendation.

The UK needs an independent committee to provide oversight on food security, AIC has told the Government at the Farm to Fork Summit 2024.

The area of land farmers can take out of food production under the Sustainable Farming Incentive will be capped, after industry concerns.

Improving UK food security will help ensure fairness in the supply chain and alleviate inflationary impacts of market volatility, says AIC.

The Prime Minister stressed the importance of food security in a speech which strengthened AIC's call for an independent UK Food Security Committee.

The new Defra Secretary Steve Barclay MP says he wants the Government to focus on food security, as AIC calls for an independent committee.

Why AIC commissioned an independent report assessing the UK agri-food sector's productivity levels and make recommendations on how to sustainably improve our nation's food security.

The need for greater food security in the UK has been highlighted by a committee of MPs, as its report calls on the Government to establish a "Food Resilience Forum".
