Experts warn that the UK's food system needs a transformation on a scale not seen since World War II to prevent future crises related to climate, economy, and public health. A new report from the AFN Network+ calls for urgent changes in climate-resilient farming, smarter land use, and healthier diets, including growing more fruits and vegetables and reducing meat consumption. These transformations aim to reduce pressure on the healthcare system, improve human health, and make farming more resilient for future generations.

The report's findings are relevant globally, as current food systems in the US and Europe are unsustainable. Urgent action is needed to address high meat consumption and meet climate targets, with the government urged to collaborate with stakeholders to implement these changes. The window for action is narrow, and if no action is taken, change will be forced upon society by crisis.
