I applaud this commitment to healthy food - and reimagining our food infrastructures to avoid the shortages we saw during the lockdown. 

But there’s one simple thing the Government could do to guarantee quality, affordable food, and ensure our supermarket shelves stay stacked: strike a comprehensive free trade deal with Europe. 

Cutting ourselves off from Europe pushes the UK towards a compromised deal with the USA - that will mean chlorinated chicken and hormone-injected beef on our plates. Ultimately, those already struggling to put food on the table will be forced to accept lower, less healthy diets.

Sign our petition, and urge the Government not to compromise food and animal welfare standards in a trade agreement with Trump. Sign today, and join the campaign.

Suppliers and supermarkets have already depleted their stockpiles coping with COVID. The UK must do everything in our power to make sure there is a reliable supply of healthy, affordable food available to all. 

To do otherwise, would be to break the Government’s commitment to a new, green, healthy food strategy. And would be to push more vulnerable people into food poverty.
