<p>Government is committed to publishing a new National Food Strategy after the UK
has left the EU. We are currently in the scoping phase and the Terms of Reference
will be published shortly following the cross-Government agreement process.</p><p>
</p><p>Defra’s Secretary of State has invited Henry Dimbleby, as Defra’s lead Non-Executive
Director, to lead an independent review to inform this strategy. Subsequently the
Government will develop a National Food Strategy white paper informed by this independent
review, among other things. This is planned for six months after the publication of
the review.</p><p> </p><p>Defra has engaged with other Government departments that
have an interest in the Food Strategy. As many potential issues for inclusion fall
outside Defra’s direct remit, effective and sustained cross Government working will
be critical to the Strategy’s success.</p><p> </p>
