UK government accused of complacency on food security
Original: British government ‘complacent about food as a national security matter’
Experts say the British government is treating food as a national security matter with dangerous complacency. According to a Guardian report, the UK has no plan to feed its population in a crisis and is unprepared for future shortages caused by events like climate shocks, conflict or supply chain disruption. Critics are calling on ministers to develop a proper food resilience strategy.
Why now: Experts and commentators are warning that the UK lacks any plan to feed people during a crisis, raising concern over future shortages.
