The Food Foundation’s Broken Plate report documents:

• the health of the UK food system;
• how it impacts lives; and
• what must change to ensure healthy and sustainable diets are available and affordable to everyone.

This year’s publication, which uses 16 key markers to provide a snapshot of the current food environment, suggests good food has become increasingly hard to access and afford, and high rates of obesity, tooth decay and decreasing healthy life expectancy are all common today.

At the same time, the report comments on harm to the environment and planet, with the authors expressing that unless action is taken, the consequences will continue to place avoidable pressure on the NHS and on the UK economy.
