The Associate Parliamentary Food and Health Forum (FHF) is an all-party independent forum for the exchange of views and information on food policy in the UK Parliament. Our objectives are to stimulate well-informed debate as a result of a greater awareness of food policy's significance and to explore and contribute to knowledge, policies and information on food policy, diet and health. The Forum's main work covers the relationship between food, nutrition, health and the implications of these factors in key areas affecting health in the population.
FHF Annual Conference: The Ethics of Food Policy
The Forum’s 2007 conference was held from 2pm - 6.30 pm on Wednesday 21 November. Several distinguished guests spoke to FHF members on a wide range of issues under the broad theme, “The Ethics of Food Policy”. Full details about the conference, which was sponsored by The Cooperative Group, are available on the the meeting programme page.

Members of the forum include MPs, Peers, Academics, Food and Health Industry Specialists, Food Research Organisations, Charities and Commercial Food and Health Organisations.
We hold meetings of the forum every four to six weeks whilst parliament is sitting. Reports of the meetings are sent to all members, and Newsletters keeping members abreast of relevant issues and policy developments are sent out every month when Parliament is sitting.
