A new report from Green Finance Institute shows nature degradation could cause a 12% loss to UK GDP. Food is a critical factor in this.

Organisations like FoodWise (Leeds) are already building a better food system in Leeds through a local food strategy.
But how to marry local action & ambition with national policy? People here in West Yorkshire have plenty of ideas.
