The Food Farming and Countryside Commission has joined with farming groups and food businesses to unveil the Hope Farm Statement ahead of this week’s Farm to Fork Summit.
The statement urges the next government to prioritise an ambitious food and farming strategy within its first 100 days in power. It also calls on politicians to introduce new legally binding food system targets and a joined up set of policies to improve the health of the public, boost farm resilience and protect nature and the environment.
The statement was created after a year of collaborative meetings convened by Paul Polman, former CEO Unilever. Signatories comprise CEOs of food businesses, farmer organisations, civil society, and membership groups.
