UK Think Tank Calls for National Food Security Strategy
News summary

Recent initiatives in both Canada and the UK aim to enhance food security through strategic investments and policy shifts. In Canada, the federal and provincial governments are allocating up to $5 million through the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership to bolster food safety systems for small businesses in the agri-food sector. Meanwhile, a report from the UK think tank Policy Exchange advocates for a comprehensive national food security strategy that goes beyond agriculture, emphasizing the importance of the entire food ecosystem, including manufacturing and logistics. This report highlights a 30% decline in investment in food manufacturing since 2019 and stresses the need for innovation and support to mitigate supply chain risks. The UK’s National Farmers’ Union has warned against decreasing self-sufficiency in food production, which currently stands at 62%. Additionally, in Pakistan, a new agricultural policy focuses on increasing saffron cultivation and overall agricultural productivity to ensure regional food security.
