UK ENVIRONMENT, FOOD, AND RURAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE RELEASES FOOD SECURITY REPORT

The UK Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs Committee published the Food
Security report which focuses on the food production and supply dimensions
of food security. The report supports the idea of "sustainable
intensiication" which means producing more food with less resources. The
report calls on the Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs
(Defra) to stem decline in the UK self-sufficiency and deliver more
resilience in the UK food system.

It was also noted in the report that UK's self-sufficiency on food has
declined over the years. Thus, the long-term challenge for the food
production system is to produce more food amidst the effects of climate
change.

The report calls for supermarkets to shorten supply chains to decrease
threats of disruption, farmers to extend seasonal production of fresh fruits
and vegetables, government to decrease dependence on imported soybean for
feed and develop better emissions reduction plan.
