What we eat and how it’s produced is at the heart of a new government food strategy for England, set to be launched on Monday.
A leaked draft of the plan, seen by Channel 4 News, aims to boost homegrown fruit and veg production and encourage healthy eating. But it’s been criticised for ignoring calls from an independent report, commissioned by the government, for a tax on salt and sugar and a dramatic expansion of free school meals for children in poverty.
We speak to Helen Browning, a pig farmer with her own organic sausage brand, and who is also chief executive of the Soil Association.
