Focusing on the agri food supply in the UK, we explore what the EUDR means for the UK feed and farming sectors.Part 1 covers the essentials of sustainable sourcing and feed supply chains: where the UK currently sources its soya, why alternative proteins are not yet fully scalable, and the policy frameworks shaping future trade and market access.Ed and James explain what the EUDR actually is, how it interacts with emerging UK legislation, and why these changes matter for importers, feed manufacturers, farmers, and anyone navigating compliance and sustainability in modern agriculture.This episode is ideal for listeners looking for clear, practical insight into EUDR compliance, sustainable soya sourcing, UK feed regulation, and the wider impact on agri‑supply businesses.
