16/09/21 Inquiry into labour crisis in food chain, potato harvesting, integrating trees into farming
Farming Today
MPs launch an inquiry into how labour and trade issues are affecting the food supply chain. The Chair of the Environment Food and Rural Affairs Committee says the Government risks "sleepwalking into a perfect storm if it fails to listen to the warning calls of supply chain professionals". But the Home Office wants to see employers "make long term investments in the UK domestic workforce instead of relying on labour from abroad". We hear how farmers in Wales want to integrate trees into farming, and join a potato harvesting team on the Yorkshire coast. Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.Next Episodes
