• Food security for the UK in peacetime has only recently been a subject of concern. Until 2008, the Labour Government justified financial support for farming as a means of obtaining environmental objectives. Even before the election in 2010, however, increasing concern over food security has encouraged renewed emphasis upon food production.

• British Governments have resisted the view that food security concerns should be met by increased subsidy for domestic – or indeed European – agriculture. Instead they have argued for freer international trade.
• However, the British Government has paid increasing attention to the role of domestic food production.
• Several reports have argued that food security problems would return unless appropriate action was taken.
• Food security is closely related to energy security and to the availability of fertilisers.
• The Foresight Report, January 2011 stresses the enormous scale of the problem.
