Britain must produce more food, government to warn - Telegraph: "A soaring global population, climate change, diminishing energy sources and depleted fish stocks mean that society can no longer be complacent about its ability to feed itself, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) will say. Setting out a comprehensive food strategy for the next 20 years, ministers will also say that:

* The public must accept genetically-modified food;

* The EU's Common Agricultural Policy adds £52 a year to every Briton's annual food bill; and

* Food should be clearly labelled with its country of origin, to help consumers choose.

The Sunday Telegraph has campaigned for country-of-origin labelling and highlighted cases where consumers are misled as to where their food comes from. However, the Government will stop short of promising compulsory labelling and will instead recommend a voluntary scheme.
