Critics Review

Praise for Henry Dimbleby’s National Food Strategy:

‘From field to fork, extraordinary work is being done to try and build a better food system for everyone … [including] Henry Dimbleby’s ambitions for safe, healthy and affordable food’ - HRH King Charles III

‘This is a compelling and overdue plan of action. If the Government adopts it, we will, at last, be putting our food system on the right path to health and prosperity’ - Prue Leith

‘Dimbleby has worked through an incredibly complex landscape and resulted in a set of comprehensive, eminently workable recommendations that are practical and will have a direct impact on our lives’ - Tom Kerridge

‘There is a nutritional gap between rich and poor in this country, and it’s a slowly unfolding tragedy. Dimbleby not only recognises this - he has a plan to do something about it’ - Dame Louise Casey
