Make it compulsory for food products to have carbon print and water usage labels

Petition Details

The current rate of climate change is having devastating effects on the planet with natural disasters becoming more commonplace.
Some food products are much more carbon and water intensive in production than others and having these labels will allow us to be more informed.

Additional Information

With around 10% of the UK’s carbon emissions in 2016 coming from domestic agriculture https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/679334/2016_Final_Emissions_Statistics_one_page_summary.pdf
we should consider ways in which to reduce this.

Companies like Tesco once opted to add carbon labels to some food products on a voluntary basis; however, they then dropped this policy in part due to other retailers failing to follow suit.
