Campaigners say the government’s planned poultry sector growth plan could pose risks to UK national security and food security. They argue that parts of the plan depend on animal feed imports, leaving the supply chain vulnerable to shocks in international logistics, pricing, or availability. The concerns follow remarks by Environment Secretary Emma Reynolds at the Groundswell agriculture festival earlier this month, where she links improved food security to increased consumption of homegrown produce. Reynolds also said the government has established the Farming and Food Partnership Board, bringing together farming and industry stakeholders. The board includes representatives such as the president of the National Farmers’ Union and the chief executive of the Food & Drink Federation. Campaigners’ warning focuses on the potential contradiction between a push for greater resilience in food systems and increased reliance on imported inputs used in poultry production. The outlets report the campaigners’ claims but do not attribute a detailed response from government in the provided text.
