The Agricultural Industries Confederation (AIC) has used the findings of a major report to call for an independent Food Security Committee to be established to shore up the UK agri-food sector's floundering productivity and sustainably bolster the nation’s food security.
The independent report “Powering Productivity for Sustainable UK Food Security" published on 15 November, was commissioned by AIC – the agricultural supply industry’s trade association – on its 20th anniversary and recommends that a statutory body be set up to provide oversight of the uniquely complex nature of agricultural productivity and food security.
The independent report, authored by Dr Marcus Bellet-Travers of Anglia Ruskin University (ARU), was launched at the AIC Conference in Peterborough on 15 November - the agri-food industry’s flagship event.
