NDM8814 - Member Debates
Tabled on 29/01/2025 | For debate on 12/02/2025To propose that the Senedd:
1. Notes that:
a) despite the abundance of quality food produced by Welsh farmers, the dominance of ultra-processed food in our diets has devastating consequences for the health, wealth and well-being of our nation;
b) access to affordable, healthy food is a social justice issue, with poorer communities disproportionately affected by diet-related illnesses;
c) Welsh production of 20,000 tonnes of fruit and vegetables a year is only equivalent to a quarter of a portion of fruit and vegetables a day per person;
d) expanding sustainable local food production can help reduce food miles, improve food security, and create green jobs in Wales; and
e) the transition to a sustainable food nation requires a joined up, collaborative, preventative approach in line with the well-being of future generations Act.
2. Calls on the Welsh Government to:
a) develop a holistic, joined up government strategy to improve people’s diets;
b) promote the benefits of fresh, unprocessed food to encourage dietary shifts and tackle the dominance of ultra-processed foods;
c) use the welcome investment in local food partnerships to bring together growers, caterers and eaters to expand Welsh horticulture;
d) accelerate work to produce a community food strategy within the Sixth Senedd; and
e) use the power of public procurement to improve the food served to pupils, patients and people living in care homes.
