Food is costing more and getting harder to grow as our climate changes. Our kids deserve a food system they can count on. Add your name and tell the government to make food security a priority.

Every day, parents and carers do the most normal thing in the world: we put food on the table. But it's getting harder. The weekly shop costs more than it used to. Floods, droughts and heatwaves are hitting UK farms and harvests, and the same extreme weather is hitting the countries we import much of our food from. Because we rely so heavily on imports, those shocks end up in our kitchens and in our children’s lunchboxes.

Food and climate are the same story. The way we farm and produce food is a big driver of climate change, and climate change is now threatening the food we grow. A secure food system protects our children's health, our family budgets and the world they'll grow up in.

The government has the power to change this. So parents and carers across the UK are coming together to ask for one thing: food our children can count on.

Our call to government

We're asking the government to:

1. Make food security for our children a national priority
   Deliver a proper, joined-up food strategy that protects families from shortages, price shocks and climate impacts.
   
   

2. Back the farmers who feed our families
   Support UK farmers to grow more healthy, climate-resilient food for families here, with more plants on our plates. Ensure drinking water and farming are protected before approving major new water users, like large data centres.
   
   

3. Keep our promises on climate.
   Meet our legally binding climate targets, cut emissions faster, and honour our commitments to help other countries adapt, so families here and around the world can put food on the table.
   
   

4. Listen to parents
   The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Angela Eagle, should meet with parents and carers to offer assurances and hear what food security means for our families.
