📈@Food_Foundation data shows more healthy foods are over 2x as expensive per calorie as less healthy foods. Citizens, farmers & businesses want govt to make food fair & start joining the dots between food, income, health & economy. First 💯 Days asks👇 ffcc.co.uk/make-food-fair

New polling from @HealthFdn & @Ipsos on #UPF. Citizens in #TheFoodConversation consistently back the ‘polluter pays’ model, redistributing revenue from those damaging health & environment to support availability of healthy food & sustainable farming. 👉 ffcc.co.uk/so-what-do-we-…

Great piece from @JoeWStanley. The UK’s food system will only be secure if we make it more resilient. This includes protecting nature & wildlife, as well as changes beyond farming e.g. creating fairer supply chains. More in our latest working paper 👇 ffcc.co.uk/publications/f…

"We offer our love and solidarity to the minority groups whose safety and livelihoods are under threat - and to the communities up and down the UK showing what British values truly are." A statement from our Chief Exec @suepritch. Read on our website 👉 ffcc.co.uk/news-and-press…

Good points from @StarkClimate on a #LandUseFramework. We're looking forward to working with @energygovuk @SciTechgovuk @mhclg @DefraGovUK & others to create participatory processes around land use - to ensure stakeholders are engaged with early & community needs are being met.

There seems to be a lot of people I know & admire being sucked in by the propaganda driving all this rioting & violence. Please don’t be drawn into this thinly veiled race-hate by those that seek to divide us. Instead we should be reaching out to support those being victimised.

During this difficult time for many, Allyship is something that can make such a positive difference and provide support for those that need it. @AmieLizBurke has created a short useful guide. This page is one I think really helps.

Not only can better food policy deliver on govt's growth ambitions @jameswalton_IGD - it is also central to improving the nation's health, prosperity & resilience. Businesses, citizens & farmers recognise this - and call for action - in the #HopeFarmStatement👇 ffcc.co.uk/the-hope-farm-…

Do hold one during #BritishFoodFortnight. Genius, invaluable initiative from @FFC_Commission. I am keen to encourage everyone who wants their voice to be heard to take part in this. @LoveBritishFood

Important new report showing how poor health in the UK, driven by big food & other harmful industries, affects prosperity. Many of its recommendations align what we hear from citizens, farmers & business about the kinds of interventions they want to see 👉ffcc.co.uk/make-food-fair
