The public is also set to be urged to eat venison from culled deer that would otherwise be discarded.
Deer stalkers will be encouraged to sell carcasses of animals that are killed after a shoot, which can then become “responsibly sourced wild venison”, according to the strategy.
Animal welfare warnings on menus
Pubs and restaurants could be forced to give customers animal welfare warnings on menus if they use factory-farmed meat.
Monday’s food strategy is set to announce plans to increase “food data transparency”, involving retailers submitting data on the sustainability, healthiness and animal welfare of their products to a Government portal to name and shame bad practices.
But the plans could also see changes to food labelling requirements to “help consumers identify when products meet or exceed our high UK animal welfare standards”.
The system could work in a similar way to recent plans to put calorie counts on menus.
Meals served in public spaces such as schools, prisons and hospitals may also be told that 50 per cent of their products must come either from local farms or meet high environmental protection standards, in an attempt to reduce the carbon footprint of public sector meals.
The announcement is set to also set out how countries signing post-Brexit trade deals with the UK could be given preferential terms if they are supplying meat that comes from farms with high animal welfare standards.
“Those wishing to access the UK market must objectively demonstrate their approach delivers an equivalent level of health protection to our domestic standards,” it states, pointing to plans for “more generous liberalisation for products certified as meeting certain key animal welfare criteria specified in the agreement”.
Migrant workers to be replaced with robots
Mr Johnson is also expected to announce plans to deal with a shortage of migrant workers that is reducing Britain’s food security.
Ministers are concerned that since Brexit, many farms have been unable to fill seasonal vacancies for poultry preparation and fruit picking because of strict requirements on migrant labour.
The strategy is set to announce that poultry workers will be eligible for a Seasonal Migrant Visa, which is currently only available to foreign horticulture and pork butchery staff.
