Over the next 6 weeks we will be sharing stories from people around the country like Helen, experiencing the effects of child food insecurity, and learn about how the @food_strategy recommendations would change lives if adopted by Government.

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

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
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: ow.ly/mtrK50ALqcb #nationalfoodstrategy
Part 1 of Henry Dimbleby’s @food_strategy, published today is a powerful, forward looking diagnosis of the food system after COVID-19, giving immediate fixes for Government #nationalfoodstrategy
