Jack Bobo argues that the hardest problem in our food system is not technical but social…

We know the UK food system is vulnerable to shocks, but what does preparing for them actually look like at community level?

What can other countries learn from Denmark?

Climate change, geopolitics and the current economic system are already driving up the cost of food, but by how much, and where are we most exposed?

How can we help build the UK’s readiness to avert a food crisis, and what would it actually take?

In the UK, 1 in 20 meals served is paid for by the government — in schools, hospitals, prisons, and care homes. The ‘public plate’ could be a powerful lever for food system transformation, connecting what we buy and serve to public health, climate goals, and local food economies. Yet too often, public food is seen as a cost to minimise rather than an investment in people and place.

Many decisions about our food system are being made based on data and computer models, but how do we know if these numbers and models are reliable?

We need to make the UK’s food system work better for people and planet – and we have a once in a generation chance, both politically and climatically, to do it.

Transitioning farming practices can feel daunting and risky. Could collective insurance, green financing, mindset change and coaching help?
