The Food Ethics Council has analysed the speeches and policy statements of the Labour Party, the Conservatives, and the Liberal Democrats to find out what shape our food system might take after the UK general election on May 6th.
Their analysis found that:
- Conservative aims to free up trade and cut red tape may put a strain on their wider environmental commitments;
- While Labour lead efforts to reduce the environmental impact of our diets there is concern they could not sustain funding for agri-environmental schemes; and
- The Liberal Democrats would include agriculture, forestry and land management in the UK's mandatory scheme to save energy and cut greenhouse gas emissions.
