Commenting on a package of documents published by Defra outlining the latest stage of the Government’s vision of a sustainable food system, Friends of the Earth’s Senior Food Campaigner Clare Oxborrow said: ”The Government is finally waking up to the fact that food security is a UK issue, but it has failed to introduce decisive policies to tackle the food industry’s global environmental impacts and to secure sustainable and fair food supplies. Ministers are still fixated on genetic modification but this isn’t a solution - GM crops do not have higher yields and the mythical drought and salt resistant crops still exist only as expensive PR promises rather than commercial reality.”
