UK's self sufficiency

After comments about food production in another thread, I started wondering about the UK's current state of affairs when it comes to self sufficiency. According to some quotes, we import around 48% of food consumed.

Is the UK strong in this area and is it ready for the challenges ahead?

Self sufficiency will only work in the UK if we severely limit our dietary needs.

Olive oil, parmesan, brie, bananas, citrus, spices, tea, coffee, baked beans, spirits, wine. Plenty of stuff that you'll either lose completely or have to accept lower quality/higher prices if you only buy British. And wine alone, the new world doesn't produce enough to replace the EU so don't expect Kent/Sussex to fill the void.

How many countries in the world are self sufficient in food production and where has this sudden interest come from?

"How many countries in the world are self sufficient in food production and where has this sudden interest come from? "

Yes, exactly. We haven't been for a very long time (maybe 17th century?).

Even when severely restricted, and everyone encouraged to grow their own produce (WW2) we still needed to import a lot to keep us going.

We don't need to be as we can buy produce from many many countries - including and not including the EU.

Also, the self-sufficiency route is ill-advised by most scientists because it can lead to higher prices which the poor are less able to meet. And if there were ever to be a failure of production it could lead to self-deficiency.

The UK wastes around 1/3 of food produced here or imported. That leaves quite a small margin of around 15% deficit.

Shouldn't be too hard to make that up should we need to

It is a huge problem but there will always be huge amounts of waste, most people don’t cook anymore, they eat what they want when they want

This is the problem and kids should be taught how to cook at school again, it would cut down on food poverty and waste at the same time.

We cook just about every night. Although, we are guilty of wastage too. Even if it is mostly the kids.

Would we waste so much if we didn't have the massive amounts of options available to us though? I'm not so sure we would.

I think one of the biggest issues that needs to be tackled by manufacturers is their notion of portion size. People just really don't care to hack a frozen lasagne in half and re-freeze what's left. Et-al.

That's another issue. Manufacturers deliberately make 'portions' bigger so as to appear value for money. But then it's wasted anyway

But, who even eats frozen lasagne? Apart from when your at the pub

Between Chichester and Havant

The biggest problem is the supermarkets.

Still making lots of offers, people confusing sell by dates with use by. Throwing food away if it's one day past it's use by. Blaming the supermarket is easy though. The public need to be educated and need to use common sense.

I don't think that's needed just better education on how to plan and cook food it should be compulsory in schools from an early age.

Higher taxes aren't the answer.

For example, coca cola haven't seen reduced market share in the last 3 years

They do but it isn't compulsory once you hit year 10. And even before that, it's once a week. Certainly at my daughters school, with the pressure on academic subjects it's not enough for them to retain anything other than the basics

Sorry. It was a poorly constructed sentence. My bad lol.

I meant to say. If students only have it as an option after 10. The knowledge you would have gained in school before then 9 and lower) would not have been useful to you in terms of your longer term future with regard to family and food planning.

No no, 'year 10' is 14 years old. But as I said even between the ages of 11-14 it's only 1 hour a week. Basic stuff really,they'll teach them how to bake cookies or something. 1 hour a week is nowhere near enough to learn how to cook.

I'm thankful my eldest opted to do it as a GCSE but even then the stuff they do doesn't help in terms of meal planning etc.

yes but who would have thought kids 10-20 years ago would be so interested in climate change for instance? education has the power to change things.

I think that one of the original Brexit fantasies was to go back to pre-war and post-war times, where food choices were limited and people could "honestly" celebrate the Harvest Festival."

Let's be honest, who really wants to live in a modern society where, as consumers, we have almost unlimited choices and the ability to have almost all fruit and vegetables on sale, all year round?..

Higher food prices and less consumer choice was written off as "project fear", and the brexit voters believed it despite all the evidence saying this would happen.

That's the world we live in now. Information is irrelevant, three word slogans are king.

Yes, taking things to the extreme I'm sure we could be self sufficient but it would require planting of crops on a scale never seen before and the lack of food choice would be so unpalatable it would never be attempted.
