Borough Talks: Agricultural Bill (S1 E5)

Britain’s food and farming future in the post-Brexit era are set to be defined by the Agriculture Bill which is currently making its way through parliament. Its system of subsidies designed to reward sustainability rather than scale may have a positive impact on farmers, retailers, the environment and the wider public, but many in the food world are hugely concerned about the Bill’s damaging impact in other areas. We invited a panel of experts from across the food industry to discuss positive aspects of the Bill alongside concerns that the legislation lack. The panel includes: Tom Parker Bowles, Food Critic; Minette_Batters, President of the NFU; Darren Henaghan, MD of Borough Market; and Tim Lang, Professor of Food Policy at City University London's Centre for Food Policy.
