The Green Food Project
‘We will bring together government, industry and environmental partners to reconcile how we will achieve our goals of improving the environment and increasing food production. We will publish our conclusions within the next 12 months.’ (NEWP pg 24, paragraph 2.46)
The Green Food Project is a joint initiative between the Government, environmental and consumer organisations, and the food and farming industry. It is looking at the challenge of how we can increase food production in England, whilst simultaneously enhancing the environment, and how we might reconcile any tensions that this challenge raises. A Natural Environment White Paper commitment, the Government wants to use the project to shape its policy work on food and farming, and the way in which we contribute to the global debate on food security.

Background
The Foresight Report on the Future of Food and Farming examined the approach that needs to be taken to ensure that a rise in global population can be fed sustainably. At a domestic scale, there is a need to consider how the UK can make a contribution to global food security and environmental improvement.
The Green Food Project has been initiated in response to the Foresight report and to a commitment that has been made in the Natural Environment White Paper, published in June 2011:
‘We will bring together government, industry and environmental partners to reconcile how we will achieve our goals of improving the environment and increasing food production. We will publish our conclusions within the next 12 months.’ (NEWP pg 24, paragraph 2.46)
Through this project, Government and organisations involved in the project are aiming to help deliver a more strategic framework for agri-food policy going forward.
