UK Food Security Index 2024

Summary

The UK faces ongoing challenges to its food security, primarily from the long-term impacts of climate change, extreme weather events, and global supply chain volatility, which led to high energy and fertiliser prices. To address this, the government has launched the annual UK Food Security Index to monitor key indicators and is implementing schemes to support farmers in adopting sustainable and resilient production practices, particularly for fruit and vegetables. Currently, the overall food security picture is assessed as broadly stable, despite some persistent long-term risks.
