United Kingdom Food Security Report
Analysis of statistical data relating to the food security of the United Kingdom.
The United Kingdom Food Security Report sets out an analysis of statistical data relating to food security, fulfilling the duty in the Agriculture Act 2020 to present a report on food security to Parliament at least once every three years. The UKFSR examines past, current, and predicted trends relevant to food security to present the best available understanding of food security at the time of publication.
The first UKFSR was published on 16 December 2021 and is available at a link below.
The next report will be published towards the end of 2024. Some statistics included in the UKFSR are updated more frequently, for example in the Food statistics in your pocket publication.
