Henry Dimbleby recommends in Part 1 of @food_strategy that we must fully assess the impact of all proposed trade agreements. We must understand the impact trade deals will have on our environment, animal welfare and food safety #nationalfoodstrategy

[Food, Poverty, Health & the Environment Committee @LordsFoodCom]

There are great solutions to support disadvantaged children in Part 1 of Henry Dimbleby’s @food_strategy. COVID-19 shows the impact poverty has on diets & health. We must expand FSM & other schemes to beat holiday hunger #nationalfoodstrategy #freeschoolmeals #holidayhunger

[Food, Poverty, Health & the Environment Committee @LordsFoodCom]

Part 1 of Henry Dimbleby’s @food_strategy provides a teachable moment, building on the Government's National Obesity Plan. Bottom line: our food is making us sick – we strongly recommend reading this report: https://t.co/Y2hhYSQuqM #nationalfoodstrategy
