The Government recognises the value that high-quality, locally produced food has to consumers, the environment and the economy. In October 2017, the Government launched a new web market that food producers can use to promote their products to public sector bodies to increase public procurement of nutritious local food. We have set out our intention to publish a command paper on the future of domestic agriculture policy later this spring. The paper will set out our proposals for the future of agriculture and the opportunities for farmers in all sectors. We look forward to receiving views from across industry.
