Nature Handbook for Food & Drink Manufacturers

From farm to fork, the UK’s manufacturing sector is dependent on nature to grow food, at the same time, the sector is a significant contributor to climate change and biodiversity loss. Our food system depends on healthy soils, clean water, and stable weather, but climatic pressures are intensifying, and the shocks to our supply chains are putting food system resiliency at risk.

Through our Ambition 2030 programme, we are committed to the UK’s Nature Positive ambition to halt and reverse nature loss by 2030. Momentum is building and businesses are investing in a wide range of nature-based solutions, both directly and through collaborative action programmes.

But we must go further. Nature restoration must be central to how we produce food and drink. Every business has a role to play in reversing nature loss and building a resilient, sustainable future.
