England’s food strategy: boost fruit and veg production – but no tax on salt and sugar

What we eat and how it’s produced is at the heart of a new government food strategy for England, set to be launched on Monday.

A leaked draft of the plan, seen by Channel 4 News, aims to boost homegrown fruit and veg production and encourage healthy eating.
