Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Baroness Jones of Whitchurch (Labour). It was answered on Wednesday, 3 February 2010.


Food Production

Question
My Lords, does my noble friend support the growing evidence that agricultural resources could be put to better effect if people would agree to eat less meat?
Answer

My Lords, that is a matter of consumer choice. My noble friend will know that we want to see all aspects of agriculture flourish. There is no doubt that a debate on the increased welfare and health of the nation might be aided by dietary changes being noted by a growing section of the population.
