EFRA Agriculture bill - Which? response

Summary: 

Which? welcomes this opportunity to submit evidence to the Committee’s AgricultureBill Inquiry. As we leave the EU, it is important that we seize the opportunity to put in place a joined up food and farming policy that will align consumer needs and expectations and producer priorities. It must reflect the current challenges that face the food supply chain, including public health needs, wider food security and consumer expectations of quality, as well as aspects such as UK competitiveness, productivity, environmental and animal health and welfare benefits. Ultimately we produce food to feed the population and keep people healthy. This is absent from the current approach in the Agriculture Bill and must be addressed.
