To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how her Department's 25-year food and farming plan will contribute to delivering the Government's emissions reduction plan.

Asked by:

Answer

The Food and Farming Plan will explore the role of technology in reducing emissions through improved feed efficiency, among other issues. It will also set out how we will work with industry to deliver emissions reductions across the rest of the food chain, including supporting the Courtauld 2025 objective of reducing food and drink emissions by 20% between 2015 and 2025.
