The government has served up its new 바카라 사이트淕ood Food Cycle바카라 사이트� today (15 July) 바카라 사이트� a recipe aimed at driving a generational change in the nation바카라 사이트檚 relationship with food.바카라 사이트�饪挴聽

The Good Food Cycle identifies ten priority outcomes needed to build a thriving food sector while tackling challenges from rising obesity rates to climate change impacts on production, representing a pivotal milestone in the government바카라 사이트檚 work to develop a comprehensive food strategy바카라 사이트�바카라 사이트�바카라 사이트�바카라 사이트�饪挴聽

Key outcomes to create a good food cycle include:바카라 사이트�饪挴聽

• An improved food environment that supports healthier and more environmentally sustainable food sales바카라 사이트�바카라 사이트�饪挴聽

• Access for all to safe, affordable, healthy, convenient and appealing food options바카라 사이트�바카라 사이트�바카라 사이트�饪挴聽

• Conditions for the food sector to thrive and grow sustainably, including investment in innovation and productivity, and fairer more transparent supply chains바카라 사이트�바카라 사이트�바카라 사이트�饪挴聽

This fresh approach바카라 사이트痵ets out the government바카라 사이트檚 vision for a modern food system, that sits at the heart of the government바카라 사이트檚 Plan for Change, tackling multiple critical challenges at once and helping to put more money back in people바카라 사이트檚 pockets.바카라 사이트�饪挴聽

Building stronger, more resilient food supply chains protects Britain from potential disruptions and strengthens our national security. Making sure everyone can afford healthy food drives our health mission by helping people stay well and reducing pressure on the NHS. We바카라 사이트檙e also working to give children the nutritious start they need to thrive at school and beyond to give every child the best possible start in life, whatever their background.바카라 사이트�聽

Minister for Food Security Daniel Zeichner, said:聽聽 聽

Food security is national security 바카라 사이트� we need a resilient food system that can weather any storm while ensuring families across the country can access affordable, healthy food.聽 聽

The Good Food Cycle represents a major milestone. We are actively defining the outcomes we want from our food system to deliver a whole system change that will help the amazing businesses that feed our nation to grow and thrive, which means more jobs and stronger local economies, while making it easier for families to eat and feel better.聽 聽

This isn바카라 사이트檛 just about what바카라 사이트檚 on our plates today, it바카라 사이트檚 about building a stronger food system for generations to come, supporting economic growth, health and opportunity as part of our Plan for Change.聽

The ten outcomes have been informed by expert advice from departments across government, the Food Strategy Advisory Board, workshops with interested charities and businesses, as well as members of the public from a Citizen Advisory Council to ensure everyone stands to benefit from a nutritious, sustainable and resilient food system, as part of the Plan for Change.바카라 사이트�바카라 사이트�饪挴聽

The Good Food Cycle builds on recent government measures to curb diet-related health problems. Fresh partnerships with big food companies will see them share data on healthy food sales, creating more transparency and a level playing field across the industry.바카라 사이트�饪挴聽

With two-thirds of adults in England currently overweight or living with obesity and costing the NHS over 拢11.4 billion annually, the new approach will help make sure healthier choices don바카라 사이트檛 get squeezed off supermarket shelves by less nutritious options.바카라 사이트�饪挴聽

Minister for Health Ashley Dalton, said:바카라 사이트�聽

We want to make sure all families have the option of healthy, high-quality food 바카라 사이트� not least because it helps tackle the epidemic of obesity, which costs our NHS over 拢11 billion a year.바카라 사이트�聽

The Good Food Cycle will be good for the health of our communities and help us curb the rising tide of cost and demand on the NHS.바카라 사이트�聽

This builds on measures in our new 10 Year Health Plan to make the healthy choice the easy choice, including launching a world-first partnership with food manufacturers and retailers.

Evidence shows that children living in poverty are far less likely to have enough nutritious food to eat, with almost 1 in 5 living in food insecurity, affecting their health and attainment at school. The Good Food Cycle will improve access to healthy, affordable food for families and give them the skills and support to cook and eat healthily. 聽

This is a key part of the 바카라 사이트바카라 사이트檚 wider action to tackle child poverty and support families with the cost of essential goods. It builds on the expansion of Free School Meals to an additional 500,000 children and the rollout of free breakfast clubs for primary school pupils and will form part of the 바카라 사이트바카라 사이트檚 Child Poverty Strategy published in the Autumn.바카라 사이트�聽

Minister for Employment, Alison McGovern, who sits on the Ministerial Food Strategy Group and the Child Poverty Taskforce, said:바카라 사이트�바카라 사이트�聽

It바카라 사이트檚 unacceptable that children in Britain are growing up without access to healthy and affordable food 바카라 사이트� holding back their learning and development.바카라 사이트�聽

Along with making over half a million more children eligible for free school meals and rolling out breakfast clubs to all primary schools, the Good Food Cycle will ensure the next generation are well fed and ready to reach their full potential.바카라 사이트�聽

This framework marks an important step in our mission to tackle child poverty, to support families and give all children the very best start in life.바카라 사이트�聽

It is really fitting to launch this important national framework here in Bradford. Our district has a proud food culture and history which we want to build on.
