But a quarter of the way through the 21st century, the food system is still responding to drivers, incentives and feedback loops established early in the 20th century. It has become increasingly apparent that the food system is driving negative impacts on our health, environment, and resilience that undermine our food security[footnote 2]. In recent years, we have seen exceptionally high levels of food price inflation, impacting household food security, particularly for the most vulnerable. These negative impacts are well documented and are largely well understood. The 2021 National Food Strategy for England authored by Henry Dimbleby identified the “junk food cycle” and, drawing from the 2021 Dasgupta Review on the Economics of Biodiversity, the “invisibility of nature”. The Government’s UK Food Security Report 2024 documents vulnerabilities in resilience and persistent stresses on the food system at multiple levels.
