answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/10/2017 answer text <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. We have just commenced a review of the assessment.</p><p> </p><p>The UKs current production to supply ratio is 60% for all food and 76% for indigenous-type foods. This has remained steady over the last decade and is not low in the context of the past 150 years. A higher production to supply ratio does not necessarily improve food security, given the opportunity for domestic supply variability as a result of weather variability and disease risk.</p><p> </p><p>The UK sources food from a diverse range of countries, in addition to a strong domestic production base. This will not change after leaving the EU. We want to grow more, sell more and export more British food. This will allow the food and drink sector to become even more resilient, competitive and profitable. It is our priority to enable an innovative, productive and competitive food supply chain from farm and sea to fork, which invests in people and skills.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 20/10/2017 13:55:51 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
