Green, Healthy and Fair. A review of Government's role in supporting sustainable supermarket food. SDC (Feb 2008) |
| |
Supermarket food is inextricably linked to many of the toughest challenges faced by Britain today-from obesity and climate change to waste and global poverty. The food chain contributes around one-fifth of the total greenhouse gas emissions and is a major source of waste, much of it avoidable. Obesity and overweight currently costs the economy a staggering £10billion a year and is forecast to reach £50billion by 2050. Many peoples, livelihoods in rural communities, in the UK and in the developing world, depend upon access to, and a fair price from, the uk's food system. [Open] |
