Reports | Published 4 December 2025

Earlier this year, Eating Better, alongside Sustain: the alliance for better food and farming, Obesity Health Alliance, Wildlife and Countryside Link and Plant-based Food Alliance formed the Food Strategy Alliances. Together, we represent over 160 civil society and business organisations spanning health, animal welfare, conservation, food production, farming and social justice sectors.

Eating Better

We formed the Food Strategy Alliances to ensure civil society organisations working across the food sector have a coherent voice and unified role in supporting the development and delivery of a successful UK Food Strategy.

We have developed 17 Asks for the UK Government’s Food Strategy that span food production to consumption, and which we believe would transform the UK’s food system and make their ‘Good Food Cycle’ vision a reality.

Rebecca Sunter, Executive Director (Interim) of Eating Better said: “These collective asks from over 160 organisations demonstrate how much support there is for progressive food policy in the UK. These proposals link food from production right through to consumption, and would unlock a shift towards more plants and less and better meat and dairy in UK diets. We know that the public backs food policies that support health, animal welfare and the environment; now is the time for the UK Government to act to make their Good Food Cycle vision a reality”.
