Listen to a BBC podcast from the Abergavenny Food Festival asking why food is costing so much more than it used to, while farmers, growers and food businesses are struggling with rising costs, squeezed margins and growing uncertainty. Who is benefiting from the current system? Who is under pressure? Are we paying too much for food, or in some cases not enough? And what would a fairer, more sustainable food economy actually look like?
With Sheila Dillon and Dan Saladino from the Food Programme, Vicki Hird, a leading UK food policy expert and Strategic Lead on Agriculture at The Wildlife Trusts,and Welsh food strategist Simon Wright, who is currently developing a National Food Strategy for Wales.
