We need to talk about.. Food Security

Welcome to "We Need to Talk About Farming" – a new spin-off series from myself Will Evans and the Food, Farming and Countryside Commission. There's a lot of noise in farming right now. For many, the future feels uncertain. This series is about having better conversations about the biggest issues facing agriculture. In each episode, we'll take on a topic that's making headlines and dividing social media and WhatsApp groups. We'll go beyond the buzzwords, cut through the cliches, and work out what really matters. In this episode, we're talking about food security, with Professor Tim Lang and Jonty Brunyee. From the war in Ukraine and the Middle East to President Trump's threat of tariffs, global politics feel more volatile than ever. Climate change and extreme weather are making agriculture more risky and disrupting food chains across the planet. How should Britain feed itself in an unstable world? How prepared is the country for shocks to its food supply? How can we build the resilience we need?
