We hear it from most quarters of the food industry in Britain: government has stopped listening to and engaging with companies operating in the strategically important business of providing food for the nation. Ahead of the election, Just Food Magazine’s Andy Coyne sounded out representatives from across the industry.
The overriding message was that British food security has been overlooked by policy makers who are simply not taking a joined-up approach to immigration, skills, labour, trade barriers and a plethora or other issues that, together, are preventing the industry from functioning optimally. You can read Nick Allen’s comments along with those of other industry leaders in Andy’s latest article.
