<p>The second Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA) published in 2017 identifies risks
to domestic and international food production and trade as one of the UK’s top six
risks from climate change. The second National Adaptation Programme (NAP) published
in 2018, sets out a plan of actions across Government to address these risks (amongst
others identified in the CCRA) over the following 5 years. Specifically the NAP includes
actions to ensure a food supply chain which is resilient to the effects of a changing
climate.</p><p> </p><p>As part of the action referenced above, we are reviewing the
UK Food Security Assessment, a comprehensive analysis of UK food security in a global
context. It was last published as a whole document in 2010 although the underpinning
statistics are updated and monitored on a regular basis. The Assessment has six themes:
Global Food Security; Global Resource Sustainability; UK Availability and Access;
UK Supply Chain Resilience; Household Food Security; Consumer Safety and Confidence.</p><p>
</p><p>The Government has also commissioned an independent review to develop recommendations
to help shape a national food strategy. The National Food Strategy will carry out
an integrated analysis of our food system, looking across the issues of food security,
climate change and health to develop a series of recommendations for Government.</p>
