<p>Food is one of the UK’s 13 critical infrastructure sectors and Defra produces an
annual Sector Security and Resilience Plan working closely with industry sectors.</p><p>The
UK has a high degree of food security, as demonstrated by the 2010 UK Food Security
Assessment. It is a comprehensive analysis of all aspects of food security, including
household food security. It draws on a wide range of indicators which are updated
with varying frequency that we monitor on an ongoing basis. We have just commenced
a review of the overall assessment<strong>. </strong></p><p>Leaving the EU provides
us with a major opportunity to set up new frameworks for supporting our farmers to
grow more, sell more and export more great British food. We will work with all those
who have an interest in the future of food and farming as we develop a new approach
that works for our industry.</p>
