Hannah Brinsden, head of policy and advocacy at the Food Foundation is with a panel from politics, policy, academia and investment to discuss what we need from the new government, including from the new food strategy and the mission boards, to really incentivize a healthier food system and ensure everyone can access and afford a healthy diet.
The episode is part of our recipe for change campaign led by Sustain, The Food Foundation, Obesity Health Alliance, with a wider coalition of nearly 50 supporting organisations. The campaign is calling for the government to introduce a new tax on food companies to encourage them to improve the healthiness of the food they sell us and play their part in supporting our health.
To discuss the opportunities of the new government and what is to come, Hannah is joined by Alison Tedstone, former Department of Health and Public Health England chief nutritionist; conservative peer, James Bethell; Adam Briggs from the Health Foundation and Antony Yousefian, a partner at The First Thirty Ventures.

The Food Foundation’s Executive Director Anna Taylor reports back from the 2025 Oxford Farming Conference where she presented a joined-up horticulture and healthy food strategy, making the link between the UK’s poor diet with social inequity. She argued that the UK’s increasing reliance on highly processed cheap food has led to a dangerously weak fresh produce sector and a downward spiral for health.
Here she takes us through what she sees as the opportunities for securing more minimally processed foods from farms produced in Britain. She explains that this could deliver benefits for both farmers and consumers at the same time, and help to tackle some of these crisis at either end of the supply chain.

Anna Taylor, Executive Director of The Food Foundation gives her response to the new House of Lords Food Diet and Obesity Committee report, Recipe for Health: a plan to fix our broken food system, which was published this week.
The report calls for regulatory changes to the food system, including mandatory reformulation targets, a tax on sugar and salt, bans on advertising and celebrity endorsements for unhealthy foods, and mandatory reporting on food healthiness. It emphasizes the need for mandatory approaches over voluntary ones and for insulating policy from commercial interests. It also proposes strengthening nutritional safety nets for children and improving the government's policy infrastructure. The Food Foundation urges the government to act on these recommendations to improve public health and reduce dietary inequalities.

Ana Maria Narvaez, Senior Policy and Advocacy Officer at the Food Foundation, reports on the interconnected crises of food insecurity and mental health in the UK to coincide with World Mental Health Day.
She highlights that 28% of adults with mental health conditions live in food-insecure households, compared to 11% without such conditions. Financial instability due to mental health issues exacerbates food insecurity, leading to anxiety, depression, and stress. The inability to afford nutritious food impacts both physical and mental well-being, particularly in children, who face higher rates of mental health issues and school absenteeism.
The Food Foundation calls for policies addressing the cost of healthy food, benefit levels, and extending nutritional support programs to alleviate these intertwined crises. Click here for more information on Pushed to the Brink
