Plunkett Report

The Plunkett Report, officially titled the "Report on the Food Supply of the United Kingdom," was published in 1917 by a commission led by Sir Daniel Plunkett. It aimed to assess and improve food production and supply during World War I, when Britain faced food shortages. The report recommended measures to increase agricultural efficiency and encouraged innovative farming practices. Its findings helped shape agricultural policy in the UK, emphasizing the need for self-sufficiency and better food distribution, ultimately influencing post-war food security strategies.
