Abstract
This study seeks to provide a better understanding of the potential risks to food and animal feed safety contingent on changed food production practices aimed at achieving net zero carbon and highlight areas where vigilance is needed. It was conducted in four phases and involved structured interviews with academic and business experts, a workshop with people with wide-ranging experience of food production and food safety issues, a workshop with civil servants across government departments with net zero carbon and food responsibilities, and a review of relevant papers, books and reports by international and UK agencies.
