This seminar was a timely opportunity to discuss Defra’s 25-year food and farming plan looking to boost the growth of the UK’s food and farming, being released later in the year, focusing on growing exports and trade, increasing competitiveness, technology innovation, investment and developing skills and employment within the industry.
The agenda also included discussion on the Cutting Red Tape programme which allows business to inform Government on ways to cut red tape and reduce unnecessary regulation on growth and productivity in sectors such as agriculture. Delegates also looked at innovative approaches in developing a more sustainable business practice to improve food security, including the EU Circular Economy Package on food and farming businesses, aimed at creating a more competitive resource-efficient economy.
Further sessions also included discussions on the wider challenges faced by the food and drink industry in contributing to the development of the public health landscape, promoting balanced diets and healthy lifestyles.
