Policy spotlight: the future of the UK food system

GK Strategy – Policy Spotlight Report – The Future of the UK Food System

GK is delighted to share its first policy spotlight report on the food and agriculture sectors where geo-political, economic and health priorities increasingly collide.

From tackling obesity and diet-related ill-heath to food security and investor appetite for agri-tech innovation, the government’s policy agenda is ambitious. Our report explores:

• The future of food and health: analysis of the government’s more interventionist stance on obesity, sugar reform and the development of a new national food strategy.

• Innovation in agriculture: why agri-tech is now a priority in the UK’s industrial strategy and where the opportunities lie for businesses to partner with government.

• Investor sentiment: how food, agriculture and natural capital are performing as asset classes and where private capital flow is likely to follow.

• The view from the US: how the political and regulatory landscape in the US is evolving and how this might shape UK markets.

With the government eager to demonstrate delivery and progress towards much-needed economic growth, businesses and investors have a critical window of opportunity to shape policy and regulation. This policy spotlight report highlights where the engagement opportunities lie, how to align with government priorities, and how to mitigate regulatory and political risks while unlocking commercial growth.
