Urge the Foreign Secretary to fix the food system

The global food system is broken. There's enough food to feed everyone in the world, but millions still live in poverty. Profit comes before people, and large-scale industrial agriculture dominated by a few big businesses is accelerating the climate crisis. This huge concentration of power held by big business at the cost of local communities and small farmers urgently needs rebalancing.

The good news? Alternatives already exist and communities who work with CAFOD are leading the way, growing food in ways that are good for people and the planet.

Will you email Liz Truss today? The UK government must implement its COP26 commitments and support agricultural systems that tackle the climate crisis and put local communities first.

Dear Foreign Secretary,

The current food system is damaging people and our climate. With millions more people going hungry as a result of the pandemic and the Ukrainian crisis, and the urgent need to reach net zero, it’s critical that we rethink the way we produce, process, trade and consume food. 

However, rather than supporting alternatives that put local communities first and that tackle the climate crisis, UK agricultural aid has focused on supporting commercial agriculture for export.

I urge you to take steps to ensure that the UK government implements its COP26 commitments and backs agricultural systems that tackle the climate crisis, put local communities at the centre and protect the planet.

Yours faithfully,
