The Minister confirmed that Defra


was working on carbon credits, looking at the issue from a UK, EU and global perspective, recognising that any system had to work for global supply chains and must not deliver unintended consequences such as big polluters simply buying up land to plant trees. Tom Bradshaw delivered an eloquent


list of issues facing his members in particular the crippling impact of input inflation running at more than 30% in some sectors and the dire consequences for consumers of supply chains failing, as has been seen with egg availability. Finance availability will consequently become an issue, skilled and unskilled workers remain a huge concern and Mr Bradshaw called upon an immigration policy that was fit for the economy. He also challenged the farming sector to put the “sex” back in farming, to talk up the opportunities the sector provided and be on the front foot in the sustainability debate to better inform retailers and indeed consumers. There is a huge requirement for


practical knowledge transfer if the transition of UK agriculture is going to be successful. The Minister recognised the crucial role that on farm advice provided in bringing to life best practice, new research and access


to the support provided through ELMS. Allan Wilkinson, Head of Agrifoods,


HSBC also questioned the UK government’s support of businesses seeking to export. “Protein demand is still growing at an insatiable rate, along with the global population. But the UK imports £58bn of food and has the 3rd


largest food


deficit in the world”. In his experience the UK government has not engaged, whilst in other export focussed countries there is a deep seated government involvement in trade. This is particularly galling given that in many circumstances the margins on export are often greater than trading in the UK, a reflection on the hugely competitive nature of our retail sector. There is no easy route forward and he


emphasised that it will only be the very best businesses, focussed on customer needs and an understanding of the whole supply chain alongside relentless efficiency that will thrive. Mr Wilkinson closed his presentation


by warning the audience that food chain inflation had another two years to run, so businesses needed to be in good shape to be able to act quickly and repeat. Judith Evans, Consumer Industries


Correspondent for the Financial Times perhaps bluntly spelled out what many in


the sector already suspect that agriculture only hits the headlines when something goes wrong. Surprisingly she also said that in her experience farmers were “click bait”, not always in a positive way but there is a genuine interest from consumers on what they want their food sector to become. In particular green technology such as vertical farming and regenerative agriculture features high in her feedback. On closing the conference Chris


Guest, AIC Chair was quick to pick up on the need to increase the profile of the sector, not only to be on the front foot with our messaging to build our reputation, but also to show the genuinely interesting and exciting sector agriculture represents, both to retain its workforce and attract new talent and investment. “There are significant challenges


ahead and there is a need for better planning, better policy and a focus on thriving not just surviving but there is much we can be optimistic about and we should grasp our future, it is in our hands”.
