Today, I met with Dr Dolly van Tulleken and Dr Courtney Scott of Food, Farming and Countryside Commission to talk about a citizen-led approach to food systems change, FFCC's research into #UltraProcessedFood and how to build a more food-resilient society. #TheFoodConversation
Over 12 months, we've been hearing from citizens in #TheFoodConversation about the changes they want to see in the food system. So Food, Farming and Countryside Commission brought together business leaders, farming groups, green orgs and food campaigners in the #HopeFarmStatement to back their asks.
