This morning, I was pleased to receive assurances from DEFRA Ministers that they will work with the Right To Food UK Commission to help change the disgraceful fact that 14 million people in the UK currently face food insecurity. The genuinely shocking outburst from the benches opposite reveal precisely why we are in this situation in the first place. #HungerIsAPoliticalChoice

Across every corner of the UK, food banks in our community are seeing severe hardship. ❗️ 2.6 MILLION food parcels were provided last year alone. But which areas are facing the highest levels of need? Let us explain…

📢⚠️ New data shows #foodinsecurity levels are rising across the UK. 🔹 More than 1 in 9 households are struggling to afford healthy food 🔹 53% of food insecure households have cut back on fruit & 40% on veg How to fix food for good: ➡️ bit.ly/4shhsAW #GoodFoodBill

Everyone should be able to keep their home warm. Everyone should be able to afford to put food on the table. Everyone should be able to afford the essentials. Re-post if you agree.

The Guardian has reported targeted attacks on farming communities that experts say were intended to prevent villages producing food. The fields once fed an entire region until they were burnt down. Every single child deserves nutritious food so they can grow and play. For nearly three years, children in Sudan have been facing unimaginable violence and trauma. They're losing childhoods they can never get back. They deserve peace. The UK Government must: - Do everything it can to ensure perpetrators of these horrific crimes are held to account - Dial up pressure on all warring parties and their international backers to secure a lasting political solution - Push for an immediate end to the violence

Millions still face hunger as hardship drags on. 📦 2.6 MILLION emergency food parcels were provided across the UK in 2025 👶 912,216 of these were for households with children 📈 That’s still 45% higher than pre-pandemic levels Inflation is easing, but hardship isn’t. This isn’t right - and it doesn’t have to be this way.

Today, the Citizen Advisory Council publish initial findings from the first ‘What Works Here Inquiry’ – a citizen-led investigation for the new Food Strategy. 📍Cornwall was the first of four inquiries and involved representatives from across the Cornish food system, coordinated by Sustainable Food Cornwall. Citizens found… 🧑‍🌾 Cornwall’s strong pride and commitment to local heritage is an important part of the Cornish food system but more support is needed to capitalise on this further 🤝 Effective collaboration between local government, producers, businesses and civil society is succeeding in driving food systems change and sustainable food production in the region 🚧 Blocks to progress include short-term funding cycles, unfair supermarket practices that force farmers and fishers to export, and procurement systems set up for national and global businesses rather than regional ones The full findings will feed into the development of Defra's new Food Strategy, offering new insights into how national government can help regional food systems thrive – and what they can learn from work already happening to transform food. 🔗Read the Cornwall report and find out more about the Citizen Advisory Council here: foodfoundation.org.uk/news/what-can-… #foodsystems #healthyfood #cornwall
