Food 2030: An online discussion

On 10 August 2009, we launched in partnership with the Department of Health and the Food Standards Agency, an online discussion document to invite your comments about the future of food and what our food system might look like in 2030.

We hoped that this approach would spark debate about the future of food.

There were sections on:

  • The food system of 2030 – describing what our food system could look like in 2030
  • Discussion topics – the nine top issues affecting, or affected by, the way we in the UK produce and consume food (including climate change, diet-related ill-health and maintaining a thriving food economy)
  • An action plan – early thoughts on how we can reach our goal for 2030

Update: 16 October 2009

The Food 2030 consultation closes today. Thank you for all your contributions whether through this website, by e-mail or at meetings that we’ve attended.  Next week we will be analysing all your comments to feed into our food strategy which we aim to publish early next year.

We will be shutting down the comments function across the forum over the weekend, so you won’t be able to leave any more comments on the website once that happens.  We will, of course, accept any further contributions made before that happens. 

For further information please contact foodpolicyunit@defra.gsi.gov.uk
