Britain will set out its first national food strategy on Monday, focused on increasing domestic production to boost food security rather than on tackling obesity after a recommendation to tax salt and sugar in processed food was rejected.
The government said Russia's invasion of Ukraine had hit food supplies and caused prices to spike, underlining the need to boost Britain's food security.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the strategy would support farmers and help protect food supplies against future economic shocks. The strategy follows an independent review by restaurateur Henry Dimbleby last year, which included a recommendation to tax salt and sugar to incentivise manufacturers to reduce their use.Environment Secretary George Eustice said the government had accepted most of Dimbleby's recommendations, with policy initiatives to boost health and sustainability, while also recognising the challenges of the war in Ukraine and the impact of the pandemic on the global economy.
