Following our usual milk market update from Chris, we are joined this week by Stuart Roberts who farms in Hertfordshire and is now the Lib Dem’s Food and Farming Advisor and Lucy Williamson, Nutritionist, a Love British Food Ambassador and a former vet, to discuss the government’s food strategy which was published on 13th June.

Stuart and Lucy give a summary of their views on the food strategy and what key message were missing, particularly from a health and food security perspective. They discuss the complexity of the issues within the food supply chains and the need to talk more about health in connection with food and sustainability, as well as how we might objectively measure this to support the message. Stuart also outlines how farmers might benefit from the publication of the strategy with an opportunity to focus on health when we talk about food and nutrition density, particularly within dairy.
