Event information
British Farming is on its knees, climate change, labour shortages and the uncertain government support are three of the numerous factors not helping. But the main issue is that farmers cannot survive the prices, trading terms and insecurity imposed on them by the Big Six supermarkets. Many farmers have already called it a day and many are in crisis. 61% of farmers fear they will go bust in the next 18 months. Guy will explain the issues and his campaign to try to improve the lot of the farmer.
Self-confessed veg nerd, Guy Singh-Watson has over the last 30 years taken Riverford from one man and a wheelbarrow delivering homegrown organic veg to friends, to a national veg box scheme delivering to around 50,000 customers a week.
