There is a growing need to improve the level of security and self-sufficiency within the UK food system and Brexit might present an opportunity to do so, however failure to prioritise F&B in negotiations will see a huge impact to the level of our food security. What changes can we expect to witness with the existing food policy, what should the priorities be, and what can businesses do to optimise food security within the UK?

This session will discuss the likely changes to our food availability, sustainability and access to imported produce.
