Food and Trade: case studies research and evidence on the environmental impact of UK food standards

WWF is newly working on a trade policy, at the top level, to ensure that the UK Government's emerging trade policy does not undermine the achievement of climate and nature goals at home or via our wider footprint. There are ongoing public and political campaigns to maintain and build on the UK's current food and farming standards.

The campaigns are high profile and specifically focused on not weakening food import standards in negotiations with US, Aus , NZ, or Canada. The environmental justification for the overall work on trade is clear, but the direct impact of current food standards on the environment is less well understood and a gap that WWF needs to urgently address.
