Britain is facing a new, challenging, yet exciting era as we leave the European Union. The food and farming sector will be impacted greatly by this change and smart and reasoned approaches are critical to develop a confident, profitable and sustainable world leading UK food and farming sector.
Drawing up new policies will need to reflect on our past and current strengths and weaknesses, while gearing up the country’s farmers, rural and food businesses to deliver robust, resilient and sustainable food and farming businesses.
