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.
