Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what recent assessment she has made of expected trends in the level of national food security.

The Government recognises that risks to food supply are continuously evolving, therefore resilience arrangements are routinely reviewed through a range of monitoring and assessment processes. The UK benefits from a resilient food supply chain and is equipped to respond to disruption. Defra is working with industry and other partners to strengthen resilience and ensure arrangements keep pace with emerging risks. In 2025, the food produced in the UK was equivalent to around 60% of our national food supply, and 72% of the food that can be produced in the UK.
