With comment from a correspondent:
I think we need to emphasise that we want to encourage more homegrown produce which will have knock on health benefits , more encouragement for start ups and smaller mixed farms. And a regulation of supermarkets and other big players so that more of the food pound goes back to the producer.
Basically encouraging agroecology which has all the healthful relocalised, resilient, productive food supply benefits built in, but which also provides ecological, employment and social benefits too.
You can also send your submission into local MPs:
