The Food Ethics Council welcomes the publication of the Environmental Audit Committee's report on Sustainable Food, published today.
Sue Dibb, the Food Ethics Council's Executive Director, who gave evidence to the inquiry says:
A report of the March 2012 meeting of the FEC Business Forum
Managing food safety risks is a top priority for any food business. Damaging headlines, whether over food poisoning or contamination scares, are bad for business.
‘Business as usual is not an option’. That’s the unambiguous message from the Food Ethics Council’s Food and Fairness Inquiry.
Our project, Beyond Business as Usual, takes this message as its starting point. Our aim is to enable progress by government and business towards a fair, healthy and sustainable food and farming system. It recognises that moving beyond business as usual is essential to address the social, environmental and economic challenges facing our food system today, and finds that there is a strong mandate from industry for government leadership on this issue.
